February is traditionally the month that Kindergarten “Round-Up” is held for owners of Palos Verdes real estate who have children entering Kindergarten in the Fall. I should restate that because tenants in Palos Verdes may also enroll their children in Palos Verdes schools. This year Kindergarten Orientation will be held on Monday, February 2, at Vista Grande Elementary School and Tuesday, February 3, at Dapplegray Elementary School. Both meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m.
This is an important event if you have Kindgergarten age children because some Palos Verdes elementary schools are impacted. If you want to be assured that your child will go to their neighborhood school, then Kindergarten is the best time to do so. If you move into Palos Verdes after this point, the Palos Verdes Unified Schoold District officials try to place your child in their neighborhood elementary school but as some schools are impacted, new students are redirected to elementary schools where there is room for additional students.
New Kindergarten students for the 2009/2010 school year must be 5 years of age on or before December 2, 2009. Proof of residency is also required. Registration packets will be available at each elementary school on February 18th and should be returned to that school by March 6th. Each of the ten elementary schools will also be holding individual parent meetings and the schedule can be accessed by clicking here.
