MARK YOUR CALENDARS: We will host a Kindergarten Parent Information Session on Tuesday, February 25th at 6:30 p.m. at Winthrop School. The Kindergarten Parent Information Session will include a general overview of kindergarten, the screening process, information on how to prepare for kindergarten, and a look at a typical day for a kindergartener. HWRSD Registration is online through ASPEN. You can find the link with instructions on our website. Be sure to review the required documents before you begin the online registration.
