Full-Day Kindergarten Registration Open In Summit

SUMMIT, NJ - Summit's first-ever full-day kindergarten program for all students has opened registration for the 2019-2020 school year.

"All students can now participate in the outstanding full-day learning experience provided by the dedicated and exceptional Summit staff," said Director of Education and Chief Academic Officer Jennifer McCann. "Our program provides students with an opportunity to engage in mathematics, reading, writing, science, and social studies in a collaborative setting. Additionally, all Kindergarten students will have art, music, physical education, library, and Spanish throughout the week."

According to McCann, if your child is already registered for the tuition-based, full-day
Kindergarten program, there is no need to register again. Families will be receiving a letter from Business Administrator Louis Pepe that will clearly outline the steps for the refund their deposit.

If your child is already registered for the half-day Kindergarten program, McCann said parents are urged to notify the school as soon as possible, as to whether they will be enrolling their child in the full-day program. There is no additional registration required, she noted.
