Kindergarten registration for the 2020-21 Penn Manor school year is now open, and the school district will host an information night to familiarize parents with the district's kindergarten program and area preschools. The Kindergarten Information Night and Preschool Expo will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 4, from 6:15 to 8:15 p.m., at Hambright Elementary School, 3000 Charlestown Road, Lancaster.
Students registering for kindergarten must be 5 years old by Tuesday, Sept. 1. Parents or guardians must begin the registration process online at http://www.pennmanor.net/parents/registration/. After the form is completed, parents or guardians will be directed to a page to schedule an in-person interview to complete the registration process.
The Preschool Expo will begin at 6:15 p.m. Penn Manor families will have the opportunity to meet representatives of local preschools to learn about prekindergarten options in the area. Penn Manor does not currently offer a preschool program. Prekindergarten programs are designed to help students build a solid foundation for learning and to ease their transition to kindergarten.
The Kindergarten Information Night will begin at 7 p.m. Penn Manor kindergarten teachers will provide an overview of the curriculum and explain how parents and guardians can help ensure that their child is ready to attend kindergarten.
Parents may attend one or both events. Registration is not required, and child care will not be provided. In the case of snow, the event will be rescheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 5, with the same times and location.
