North Scott has a pre-kindergarten program designed for students who are age-eligible (5) and need more time for academic or social-emotional growth to be prepared for kindergarten. Again, students must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 15 to be eligible.

We plan to have two sections of pre-kindergarten - one at John Glenn Elementary in Donahue and one at Neil Armstrong Elementary in Park View. We no longer have a section at Virgil Grissom Elementary.

If you are considering enrolling your child in pre-kindergarten next year but aren’t yet certain if s/he will attend kindergarten or pre-kindergarten, please contact Kyle Harris by email or at 563-285-3503.
