Incoming Kindergarten Students
Guidelines for the Indiana Department of Education stating that a student residing in Indiana be at least five years of age on or before August 1 in order to enroll in Kindergarten will be followed. There will be no early admission into kindergarten unless deemed appropriate by the Principal and space permits after all applicants who meet the age guidelines have been placed.
The Gesell Assessment/School Readiness Assessment is administered to all incoming kindergarten students. This test is based on the concept that behavior and learning develop in a patterned and predictable way at varying rates. Each applicant is assessed by a licensed St. Charles Staff Member to determine the child’s school readiness. School readiness is the ability to cope with the school and classroom environments physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually, without undue stress. Recommendations for placement are based on this test. More information on the Gesell Assessment can be found at www.gesellinstitute.org. There is a $25 non-refundable fee for the assessment. If it is determined that the child is ready for kindergarten/first grade, then placement follows the guidelines established in the school’s Admissions Policy and Class-Size Policy. If it is determined that the child is not ready for kindergarten placement by the administrator of the assessment, there will be conference between the assessor, the parent, and the principal to evaluate the child’s test results and to determine appropriate placement.
