Kindergarten Late Birthday Parent Meeting
Parent/guardians of incoming kindergartners who have a late birthday, July 1 - November 30, 2004, are invited to attend a meeting on Thursday, March 26, at 6:30 p.m. at Duanesburg Elementary School. The kindergarten teachers, Deb Johnson, Bridget Minute and Angela Daddario, as well as the elementary school Principal Erica Ryan, will be available to discuss your child’s readiness for school with the option of a one-year delayed entrance.

Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten registration for the 2009-10 school year will be held on April 7 and 8, 2009 at the Duanesburg Elementary School (165 Chadwick Road, Delanson, NY).

To be eligible, children must be 5 years old by December 1, 2009. The following items must be presented during registration: a birth certificate or other legal proof of age, guardianship/custodial documentation, immunization records, and three proofs of residency as outlined in district procedure.

New York State law also requires that children must have the following immunizations, BEFORE they can enter kindergarten: 

• 3 doses of diphtheria;
• 3 doses of polio;
• 3 doses of hepatitis B;
• 2 doses of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella);
• 1 dose varicella (chicken pox) vaccine;
• Dental health certificate, reporting that a comprehensive dental exam has been completed.

A scheduled mailing is targeted for March 20, 2009. The mailing is based on the census completed in 2007. If you are new to our district and have not completed a current census, or have a kindergarten age child, please call the elementary school at 895-8310.

Kindergarten Orientation
Kindergarten orientation is held at Duanesburg Elementary School each year in September. This is an opportunity for kindergartners and their parents to become familiar with the school district, layout of the elementary school and with transportation services. Transportation Supervisor Harry Folckemer and Head Bus Driver Peg Venter are available to answer any questions or concerns.
