The Peshtigo School District offers 4-year-old kindergarten to any child who resides in the district who is 4 years of age on, or before, September 1 of the given school-year. If you have questions or concerns about your child's readiness for 4-year-old kindergarten, please contact the school to discuss your options. We are here to help make this transition as seamless as possible.
Is my child ready for 4K?
This is a very common question that parents ask before the start of each school year and there are a lot of things to consider before making this decision. Have they spent a lot of time around other children their age? Have they attended a daycare, preschool or 3K program already? Do they speak in full sentences? Can they begin to identify some colors and shapes? Do they have a late summer birthday? A lot of factors play into a child's maturity and academic readiness and children come into 4K with a variety of experiences. The following links may also help to answer some questions:

The program includes a strong focus on parent-school communication with regular family outreach opportunities and conferences. Our curriculum follows the Wisconsin Mode Early Learning Standards.
