It is imperative to have all Kindergarten students enroll, so the schools may prepare enough teachers to keep the class sizes small. MVCSC will have full-day kindergarten only and students eligible for kindergarten registration must have attained the age of five (5) on or before August 1st. There is an appeal process available for students who will turn five (5) after August 1.
