Seven MVUSD Schools to Add Popular Full-Day Kindergarten for 2016-17

Parents want it, and many children need it. So Moreno Valley Unified School District is bringing the full-day kindergarten option to seven more elementary schools this fall: Chaparral Hills, Hendrick Ranch, Hidden Springs, Midland, Ridge Crest, Seneca and Sugar Hill elementary schools will offer full-day K, joining Box Springs, Cloverdale and Honey Hollow elementaries, which began full-day kindergarten this school year. “We knew there was a demand for full-day programs,” said Chief Academic Officer Dr. Martinrex Kedziora, “but even I was surprised that the full-day classrooms at those first three schools filled up immediately. So adding full-day kindergarten to more schools was an obvious choice.” Kedziora said that many children of kindergarten age are ready for a longer school day. “Kindergartners are not all the same age or at the same stage of cognitive development,” he explained. “A month or two older or younger can make quite a difference in children’s readiness to move from half-day to full-day kindergarten. Just as with all other students, one size does not fit all kindergartners, either.” Registration for Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten will begin Monday, March 7, with pre-registration packets available starting Monday, Feb. 1, from MVUSD Centralized Registration, which is located at 23301 Dracaea Ave. Children must be five-years old by Sept. 1, 2016, in order to be registered for the 2016-17 school year. Children born between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2, 2011, may be eligible for Transitional Kindergarten (TK). For more information about Kindergarten and TK, please visit our website at www.mvusd.net>Parents>How to Enroll My Child. To make a registration appointment (recommended), call Centralized Registration at 951-571-7690.

With winter approaching, emergency officials are coordinating flood prevention, roadway maintenance and public alerts to help residents prepare for dangerous weather. A heavy rainstorm can change the landscape of San Bernardino in a matter of hours. Streets that ordinarily carry commuters and school buses can become difficult to navigate, drainage channels can fill rapidly, and neighborhoods near foothills may face increased risks from flooding and debris.
