Effective July 1, 2024, Public Act 23-208 requires children to turn five years old on or before September 1st to enroll in kindergarten. To support families with children who will not reach the age of five on or before September 1st, we are allowing a child’s parent or guardian to submit a kindergarten waiver request. This waiver request, along with a screening to assess the child’s development in various areas, will help us determine if a child is ready to begin kindergarten, even if they do not meet the new birthdate requirement. Waiver forms are due by January 9, 2026 to Plymouth Center School. Completed forms can be emailed to the main office at gieser@plymouth.k12.ct.us or brought to the school.
Please note: The application for the Plymouth Public Schools Preschool will open in January on the district’s website. We encourage you to submit an application for the district PreK program in the event your request for a kindergarten waiver is not accepted. Information will be posted on the PCS website in early January.
