Otsego will implement full-day kindergarten
2/7/2014Otsego Local Schools will implement full-day, everyday kindergarten starting next school year.
Currently, the district offers full-day kindergarten every other day and on alternating Mondays; limited space is available on other days, but for a fee. District officials said the decision to offer everyday kindergarten came after a series of community and parent surveys and forums.

Children who turn 5 years old on or before Aug. 1 can enroll.
Registration forms are available at otsegoknights.org. When registering, parents must bring a certified birth certificate, Social Security card, immunization records, records from a recent physical, proof of residency, and custody papers if applicable.
