It is with great pleasure that we welcome your child to Kindergarten at New Albany-Plain Local Schools for the 2019-2020 academic year!  We look forward to an educational and enriching Kindergarten year for your child at the New Albany Early Learning Center.

Your child is eligible to begin Kindergarten at New Albany Schools in the 2019-2020 school year if your child will be five years old on or before August 1, 2019 and meets the residency requirements.

New Albany-Plain Local Schools will offer a tuition-based, all-day Kindergarten program for 2019-2020. You can find details about the program from ELC Principal, Michelle Unger here.

• Registration must be received by  April 5, 2019, for your child to participate in the April 11 or 12  Health and Academic Screening.
• To be eligible to be entered into the lottery for the tuition-based, all-day Kindergarten program, parents/guardians must have all registration requirements completed by  April 5 and submit a lottery form during the April 11 or 12 Health and Academic Screening.
