As we all prepare to welcome the New Year, at Memorial School we have begun planning for our next school year as well. Registration for the District's Integrated Preschool will be held from January 22nd through 27th. To register, children must be 3 or 4 years old, on or before August 31, 2012 and be toilet trained. Parents must be able to provide transportation and the children must be residents of Mendon or Upton. All classes are staffed with Master Level Teachers who are certified to teach early childhood students, with and without disabilities. The research based curriculum that is utilized in all preschool classes is titled "Tools of the Mind". Memorial School will hold an Open House for perspective parents and students on January 20, 2012 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Parents may choose from morning or afternoon classes. The schedule for morning classes is Monday through Thursday from 9:00 to 11:30 at a cost of $303.00 per month and the schedule for afternoon classes is Monday through Friday 12:30 to 3:00 at a cost of $375.00 per month. In addition, we expect to offer an extended day option for 1 to 5 days per week at an additional cost. Every effort will be made to accommodate all those who are interested in attending the Integrated Preschool. In the event that there are more students registered than available slots, a lottery will be drawn on February 10, 2012. For more information, please contact Carol Suffredini, Pre-K Coordinator at 508-529-1020 Ext. 109.
Students who will be entering kindergarten during the 2012-2013 school year must be 5 years old on or before August 31, 2012. The Mendon Upton Regional School District offers half day, full day, extended day, and Spanish immersion kindergarten classes. Parents of all perspective kindergarten students are invited to attend an informational evening on Thursday February 9th in the Memorial School Cafeteria at 6:00. If you are unable to attend the informational meeting, please stop into the school office to pick up a registration packet and make an appointment to register your child. Packets will be available beginning January 3, 2012. Proof of residence, birth certificate, and immunization records are required at registration. Kindergarten registration will be held on Wednesday February 15th and Thursday February 16th. If you have any questions, please contact the school office at 69 Main Street or call 508-529-1020.
