February 4K Newsletter

We made it to February after a chilly January. I'm ready for a bit warmer weather which usually brings more snow.

In 4K the kids are still full of energy so we're having lots of fun! The teachers have to be a bit creative when we have long stretches of cold weather to keep the kids entertained and burn some of that endless 4 year old energy! Visits to the gym, extra movement breaks, games and longer stretches of play help with the cold weather blues.

February will bring Registration for Kindergarten!

Please see the information below about how to register your child for 2026-2027 and continue to watch for information from your child's teacher for more transitional opportunities!

Step one of the Kindergarten Transition process begins in January! Your child's 4K teacher will be reaching out to verify your current home address. We realize children may move before Fall of 2026; however, confirming addresses is the first step in our process of calculating the number of students we expect at each elementary building.

So, please confirm your child's home address / home school for Fall of 2026 with your child's 4K Teacher. IF you've moved since you registered for 4K, you will be asked to provide address verification documentation.

If your child is already enrolled in the SCP/4K program, you will sign up for Kindergarten at:
