Woodside School gears up for kindergarten registration
|
Parents whose children are eligible to attend kindergarten or transitional kindergarten next fall at Woodside Elementary School are invited to attend a informational meeting on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 8:30 a.m.
The meeting, for adults only, will include presentations by school administrators and kindergarten teachers, followed by classroom visits.
Children who will be 5 years old on or before Oct. 1 are eligible to attend the kindergarten program in the 2013-14 school year. Children who will turn 5 between Oct. 2 and Dec. 1 are eligible for transitional kindergarten. They will enroll in traditional kindergarten in the 2014-15 school year.
Registration begins in March. The school is using a new online registration this year, according to the Woodside School District. Once residency requirements are met, parents will be given access to the system to enroll their child.
Go to woodside.k12.ca.us for more information, or call 851-1571.

Posted by Tax Payer, a resident of the Atherton: West of Alameda neighborhood, on Feb 5, 2013 at 2:32 pm Why are there 4 elementary school districts serving Menlo Park, Portola Valley and Woodside with a total of 9 Schools?? There seems to be a bond measure every election year to support the schools, but if these four school districts were reduced to one, eliminate 3 administrations, how much money could be saved? More money is not needed, manage the money you have in a more fiduciary manner and eliminate the unneeded administrative overhead. How much are the administrators paid in each of these districts?

Posted by Sir Topham Hatt, a resident of the Menlo Park: University Heights neighborhood, on Feb 7, 2013 at 12:07 pm With the Basic Aid finding model, the 3 districts outside of Menlo Park City fare better than if they were merged. Financially only Menlo Park City district would want a merger.

Posted by wrong, a resident of the Menlo Park: Menlo Oaks neighborhood, on Feb 7, 2013 at 12:23 pm Menlo Park CSD is also a basic aid district so it would not benefit. The districts like to run their own fiefdoms, but financially it makes no sense.

Posted by Sir Topham Hatt, a resident of the Menlo Park: University Heights neighborhood, on Feb 7, 2013 at 3:24 pm Menlo Park CSD is Basic Aid, I agree, but their overall property values are lower than the other three districts. That, combined with district-specific fundraising and property rental income, gives the other district higher spending per pupil averages than Menlo Park CSD.
