If you live in Winooski and have a child that will be 5 before September 1, 2022, they are eligible to come to Kindergarten for the 2022-23 school year!
On May 25th, all incoming Kindergarten students are invited to come to JFK for our Kindergarten screening day. Please call the JFK main office to choose a time to attend Kindergarten Screening (802)-655-0411.
At least one parent or guardian will need to attend with their student. When students and families arrive on May 25th, we will have a short welcome and staff will be introduced. After introductions, the students will go to one of our Kindergarten classrooms with the Kindergarten teachers and other JFK staff to play and complete some academic screenings. The screenings look at student’s play, engagement, social skills, number and letter knowledge, and fine motor skills. We know that these screenings are just a snapshot of who your student is as a person and learner. While the students are in the classroom, the families will participate in a welcome to JFK overview presentation, complete registration, and fill out a sheet that tells us all about your student.
Please bring your child’s birth certificate, updated immunization, and proof of residency to the appointment.
We use PowerSchool as our student information system and all of our registration happens online. Registration is open for the 22-23 school year.
If you are new to the District, you will need to fill out a Pre-Registration form. Once approved by the Registrar you will get an email from PowerSchool with directions on how to create a PowerSchool account and register your student.
If your student did not attend PreK at Winooski but has siblings in the District, you do not need to create a new account. You will link your Kindergartener to your current account by a code emailed to you after you’ve completed the Pre-Registration form. Please make sure that when you login you are using your current account information and not creating a new account.
*Please have the Pre-Registration form filled out prior to Kindergarten screening day.*
If you’ve completed the PowerSchool registration for your PK student because they go to PK in Winooski, or receive PK money for your student to attend a partner PK program, you do not need to fill out a Pre-Registration form. You will need to log into your PowerSchool account and update your students’ information.
If you do not remember your login information or need assistance linking your student to your account please send an email with your full name, students’ name and DOB to [email protected] with your request.
