KINDERGARTEN - 2024 EARLY-ENTRANCE SCREENING
Who may be screened?
Each year, MSCS screens 4-year-olds who will be turning 5 from August 16 to September 30 for early entrance into Kindergarten. For the 2024-25 school year, children whose birthdays fall between August 16, 2019, and September 30, 2019, may be screened to determine if they are eligible to enter kindergarten early.
Who should NOT be screened?
- If a child will already be 5 years old on or before August 15, 2024, then they may be registered for kindergarten without screening.
- If a child turns 5 after September 30, 2024, the child is not eligible for screening and must wait until the following year, fall 2025, to enroll in kindergarten.
If I am interested in getting my child screened, what should I do?
Early kindergarten entrance screening begins in June. Beginning Monday, May 13, parents may call the Department of Assessment and Accountability at 901-416-5450 to schedule an appointment for their child to be screened this summer for early kindergarten entry. Please remember that only children turning 5 years old from August 16 to September 30 are eligible for screening. Students who are already 5 years old by August 15 do NOT need to be screened.
