Parents of Preschool Students: Delwood is considering the option of adding transitional kindergarten as an option for eligible 4 and 5 year old preschool students. Transitional Kindergarten is a program designed for children who are kindergarten age (typically 5 years old) but would benefit from an additional year of school to prepare them for the rigors of kindergarten. It serves as a bridge between preschool and kindergarten, offering a slower-paced, more individualized approach to learning. TK focuses on developing essential social and academic skills, including readiness for math, literacy, and social-emotional development. Students who turn five by September 15 are eligible for the full-day Transitional Kindergarten program. Please fill out the survey by next Friday: https://forms.gle/MKX5Mb4ubwTWuc6E7
