Early Childhood

Overview

 

Early childhood education in the Allegany County Public Schools offers universal Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten programs.  Pre-kindergarten is offered at 13 elementary schools.  Mount Savage School’s Pre-kindergarten population is served regionally at Beall Elementary School or Cash Valley Elementary.  Pre-kindergarten classes are half day sessions. Morning and afternoon sessions are available in most locations.  Eligible students may attend Head Start during the other half day at a Head Start facility.

 

Kindergarten classes are mandatory for all students who are five years of age on or before September 1.  Kindergarten is a full day program that is offered in each elementary school.

 

Registration for Pre-kindergarten, Kindergarten and First Grade for the 2008-2009 school year will be held in all elementary schools on March 26 and 27, 2009.  Documents required for registration include a birth certificate, social security card, immunizations, and a proof of residency.  An acceptable proof of residency is a current utility bill in the parent’s name.
