The Herington Elementary School Kindergarten Round-Up will be Monday, April 5, 2021. The child must be five years old on or before August 31, 2021 to attend Kindergarten next term.
Prospective students and their parents are encouraged to attend Kindergarten Round-Up and become informed and prepared for your child’s Kindergarten year. Each student will be given an assessment to indicate their level of readiness for Kindergarten. The screening will focus on motor skills, concepts, social/emotional skills and language.
During this time, parents will fill out the enrollment form and go over medical information with the school nurse. Parents are asked to bring their child’s state-certified birth certificate, immunization records, and a recent health assessment (if available).
Appointments are required and will occur at Herington Elementary School. Please call Herington Elementary School at 785-258-3234 to schedule an appointment for Monday, April 5. The process will take approximately a half an hour.

Mrs. Gutsch's third grade class recently learned about calculating the area of objects. One project was to problem solve using area to figure out square footage in a room or an object in a room, such as the window in a door. One math lesson used Cheez-its to build a door and subtract the square footage for the window, so the builder could determine the square footage of the part of the door that needed painted and the area of the glass to install. The best part of edible math is "putting away" the building the supplies! Students were heard saying, "Math sure tasted good today" and "I have never heard a teacher say that we can eat our door now!"
