Please note: 

 

There will be a three week trial period when the child starts KDO for the teacher to assess and determine if your child shows the potential ability and desire to handle the work load for that year as well as to evaluate the child's ability/desire to work well with his/her peers.

If the teacher feels that the child is not ready to enter either class, she will advise the parent(s) to wait another year before starting the child at KDO.

 

This decision is at the teacher's discretion and will be supported by the KDO Board (as shown in the policy).

 

We want to keep the KDO experience an enjoyable one for your child. It can quickly become frustrating to your child if this skill level is not present.
