District 7 will also host kindergarten informational meetings for parents. The purpose of these meetings is to provide general kindergarten information on topics such as beginning school, a preview of the kindergarten orientation process, and procedures for requesting half-day kindergarten programming. Requests for half-day kindergarten involve the completion of the Half-Day Kindergarten Request Form that must be signed by a District 7 administrator and filed in the school office and Hadley House by the close of business on June 26, 2020.

These parent informational meetings will be held from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the following locations and dates:

February 19 Nelson Elementary
February 26 Leclaire Elementary
March 4 Goshen Elementary
March 10 Hamel Elementary
March 17 Glen Carbon Elementary
March 18 Midway Elementary
These meetings are for parents only. Parents of kindergarten-age children are encouraged to attend one of these meetings. All meetings will be identical in content so parents should attend the meeting that is most convenient regardless of location.
