Preschool and Kindergarten registration for the South Winneshiek Community School District has been set for the week of Monday, January 29th until Friday, February 2nd. Parents may register anytime during the week. Registration may be accomplished by emailing tiwagner@swinn.k12.ia.us. Please include your child’s name, birthdate, and parent contact information. Initial contact with the school is for enrollment counts.
South Winneshiek’s Preschool Program is open to any child who will turn 3 or 4 on or before Sept. 15, 2024. The preschool runs full days Monday-Thursday from 8:17 a.m. to 3:05 p.m. The three-year-old program is taught by two highly qualified paraprofessionals and the four-year-old preschool classrooms are taught by a certified teacher and a highly qualified paraprofessional. A monthly tuition is charged for both programs. HAWC scholarships and childcare assistance are available to help lower the cost to those who qualify based on income. Four-year-olds are also charged once at registration in August (this year the fee was $45). Preschool starts about two weeks after the regular school year and then follows the South Winn calendar for the rest of the year.
Kindergarten: A student entering kindergarten must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 15, 2024. The program operates all day, every day, and is taught by certified teachers, focusing on the Common Core Standards. Kindergarten students are also charged once at registration in August (this year the fee was $55). All students who are five years old are encouraged to attend kindergarten, so a kindergarten round-up will not be held.
Parents should feel free to contact the school concerning any questions they may have by calling 532-9365 and asking for Tiffany.
