READINESS EXPECTATIONS
If you believe your child could benefit from additional resources to prepare for kindergarten, we invite you to sign up for our free Birth to School program. It is open to children ages 0-5 who live within the district boundaries. To register or find more information, visit the Birth to School website at www.cps.k12.in.us/bts.
FINAL REGISTRATION & Practice Bus Ride
The final step to prepare your child for kindergarten requires completing annual registration in late July via PowerSchool. Keep an eye on district communications for registration information and instructions. Online registration is required every year and includes verification of student information and electronic signatures on financial forms and CPCSC policies.
Just before school begins, you and your kindergartener will be invited to take a practice ride on the school bus to and from the bus stop and school. Each school will also hold Kindergarten Kick Off! and an open house to meet your teacher and take a tour.
