Enroll

Children must be five years old prior to August 1 of a given school year in order to start kindergarten.

Screening is one way to check your child’s ability to perform specific age-appropriate skills. We use the Developmental Indicators for Assessment of Learning-4 (DIAL-4) to assess across domains: Motor, Concepts, Language, Social Development and Hearing/Vision.

This is a FREE service provided to our Rockwood students age 5 by July 31.

Please allow 1.5 hours for completion of the screening, hearing/vision assessment, and to review results with the kindergarten teacher or school representative.

For additional questions, please contact Rockwood Early Childhood Education at Clarkson Valley at 636-891-6200.

All Rockwood schools are known as centers of academic excellence. However, you may submit a request for your child to attend a different attendance area school. This is known as, "Limited School Choice". The Limited School Choice request form is available at each school location. If the request is approved, transfers occur at the beginning of a semester. Applications for first semester must be received between February 1 and May 31 of the preceding school year. Applications for second semester must be received two weeks prior to the end of the first semester of the current school year. Once a transfer is approved, the student must remain at the Choice school for a minimum of one semester. Transportation is not provided by the District.

Each year, in accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), parents have the option to refuse the release of specific directory information included in their child’s educational record. As outlined in Board Regulation 2400, directory information includes such things as:

• student’s name, addresses, phone numbers, birth date, email address
• degrees and awards received
• all photographs taken at school (including yearbook photos)

If parents wish to have specific directory information regarding their child excluded, a completed Refusal to Permit Disclosure of Directory Information form must be returned by Aug. 31. The district may disclose appropriately designated directory information without written consent, unless parents/guardians have advised the district to the contrary.
