MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. (February 7, 2019) – The Mount Vernon City School District announced pre-registration dates and locations for its full day pre-Kindergarten classes, which begin September 9. Registration will begin on Monday, February 11.
The Mount Vernon Pre-Kindergarten Program offers a well-implemented, evidence-based curriculum taught by highly qualified Pre-K teachers and teaching assistants who are specially trained to utilize developmentally appropriate activities, implement standards-based instruction, and build a nurturing classroom environment for all young learners. Mount Vernon pre-K provides regular assessments of a child’s learning that are built into the curriculum, so teachers will ensure a child is on track for success in kindergarten.
Children will engage in growth and educational experiences, such as field trips, activities about families, digital communications, computer coding and iPad usage. The robust curriculum includes reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Students will learn in whole groups and small groups and develop social and emotional skills.
Children must be 4 years old by December 1, 2018. To register, bring the child’s birth certificate, immunizations, two proofs of residency, including a current lease or deed, a utility bill or mail from a government agency, and picture identification. Seats will be filled on a first come, first-served basis.
