Pine Hill Kindergarten Information
2023-2024 School Year
Welcome to Pine Hill School!
We're thrilled to extend a warm invitation to you and your child(ren) to join our kindergarten program at Pine Hill School, commencing this August. Please take a moment to review the details below regarding an orientation visit scheduled for May 8th (for both children and their caregivers) and instructions on how to complete the official registration process.
Kindergarten Visit Day
We eagerly anticipate your presence at our special welcome visit on Wednesday, May 8th, in the afternoon. Parents/caregivers and their prospective kindergarten students are invited to explore our classrooms, meet the teachers (for children), and engage with the principal (for adults) in small group sessions as outlined below:
- 11:45 - 12:30pm - Students with last names beginning with A-D
- 12:45 - 1:30pm - Students with last names beginning with E-M
- 1:45 - 2:30pm - Students with last names beginning with N-Z
If you are unable to join us for your scheduled timeslot, please let Kristen Diebus know in the front office, diebusk@doversherborn.org, so she can manage the times to a maximum of 20 families.
Since May 8th is a half day for our grade K-5 students, visiting kindergartners will have exclusive access to the kindergarten classrooms and playground (with the option to stay and play following the visit).
Parking is available in the main lot or along Pine Hill Lane. You may enter through the main entrance or the gym entrance, where signs will guide you to the kindergarten wing of our school.
School Registration Process
- If you haven't already done so, complete the official school registration form, accessible via the blue button above.
- Provide a copy of your child’s birth certificate.
- If you're a new resident in Sherborn in 2024 or haven't been verified on the Town Census, proof of residency will be required for enrollment. A signed lease or P&S agreement, or a utility bill with a Sherborn address will suffice.
- Upload or provide a hard copy of your child's physical exam and immunization records to our school nurse before the start of school. (Note: Many of you may not be able to obtain these forms until your child's 5-year check-up, which could occur as late as August, depending on your child's date of birth.)
Please submit the online registration form by April 12th.
At Pine Hill School, we believe that parents/caregivers play an essential role in our community. Strong home-school connections and partnerships are among our school's most cherished assets. I am eagerly looking forward to serving as your child's principal next year!
Warm regards,
Allison Gullingsrud
