The School District of Belleville began screening for 4-year-old kindergarten on Thursday. Over two days, parents are encouraged to bring their child in to complete paperwork, perform some basic testing, have their vision checked, and become familiar with the 4K classrooms at Belleville Elementary School. The 4K staff (Mrs. Rear, Ms. Hoven, Ms. Jenny, Ms. Melody) and Mrs. Martin put a lot into preparing for these days.
Thank to the Lions Club for performing the vision testing. Thanks also to the Treder family for donating the t-shirts given to each new student entering the school system. For many, it is their first piece of Wildcat gear. Families have a photo opportunity at the end of their session.
The school district anticipates at least 84 new students next year in 4K. That will make it the largest class in the district in over a decade. The staff is excited about this growth. However, many are in disbelief when they find out that this group of students will graduate in 2037!
