2024-25 Transition Plan
Beginning July 1, 2024, the Connecticut General Statute requires that children turn five years old on or before September 1 of the school year in order to enroll in kindergarten. Because of the timing of this change and the challenge that this may cause families, Norwalk Public Schools has developed the following transition plan for the 2024-25 school year:
Any child who does not turn five years old on or before September 1, 2024, but celebrates their fifth birthday on or before January 1, 2025, may be eligible for Kindergarten admission. This is contingent upon a written request from the child's parent/guardian during the registration process.
Upon receipt of the request, the child will be scheduled for an assessment at the Family Center. The purpose of this assessment is to gather information about the child and their family, which will assist schools in providing better support for the students.
The Norwalk Public Schools will continue to support all students according to their academic, emotional, and social needs with the understanding that students are unique regardless of age. Parents requesting early admittance will receive resources from the Family Center to assist them in their decision.
The process for early entrance to kindergarten beyond the 2024-25 school year will be further developed and a specific plan/procedure is forthcoming.
If you have any questions, please contact the NPS Family Center at 203-854-4100 or email familycenter@norwalkps.org.
