Preschool Information Night

 Monday, February 6th from 6:00pm- 7:00pm

We have openings in our 2012-2013 Integrated Preschool Program for children age 3-5.  Parents are invited to view the classroom, meet staff members and receive an overview of the program and application procedure on 2/6/12.  The program is part-time and a preschool screening is required.

Preschool Screening

On March 5th & 6th preschool screenings will be held by appointment at the Page School in West Newbury. This free developmental screening is for all children ages 3 and 4 who live in Merrimac, Groveland or West Newbury.  Children suspected of having delays and/or special needs are encouraged to participate. To schedule an appointment contact Chris Parenteau at the Special Education Office at (978) 363 – 2280 x. 124.

 March Kindergarten Registration

This early registration is essential for planning class sizes, so please help us spread the word! 

Throughout the month of March, walk-in registrations will be held for children who will be age 5 by September 1, 2012. Registration packets may be picked up in the school office from 8am-4pm during the month of March.  To be eligible for the full day lottery, complete packets must be submitted by March 30th. Required information includes birth certificate, photo of child, proof of residency (copy of rental agreement/morgage statement) and proof of occupancy (utility bill or tax bill).  An Information Night for parents will be held on April 12th at 6:00pm.
