Warwick School District will host its annual Kindergarten Expo for parents of incoming 2025-2026 kindergarten students on January 14, 2025 (Snow Date: January 16) in the Warwick Middle School Auditorium.
The presentation will begin at 6:15 pm, but we suggest you arrive prior to that in order to check
in and receive an information packet. An Early Childcare Provider Fair will follow the
Presentation.
If you are unable to attend the expo, please pick up an enrollment packet at the District Office
or your assigned school after 1/16/25.
Please notify the District if you are not planning to enroll your child in Warwick Kindergarten for
2025-2026. Contact Mrs. Jill Kramer at jkramer@warwicksd.org or 626-3700 x3709.
We would also appreciate it if you could complete our kindergarten survey on our
website, found here.
1) What is Warwick’s age cut-off for Kindergarten?
Children who will have attained the age of five (5) years on or before September 15, may be
admitted to kindergarten at the beginning of that school year. Warwick does not offer an early
admittance option for those students who do not meet this age requirement.
2) What is the Expo?
The Kindergarten Expo is designed for parents of incoming Kindergarteners. We plan to
highlight the process of transitioning to Kindergarten, from enrollment to the first day of school.
The Expo also offers a time for local Early Childcare Providers to highlight their individual
programs and services. Parents will be encouraged to visit the tables and speak to their
representatives outside of the auditorium in a relaxed atmosphere following the formal
Program.
3) Can I bring children to the Expo?
Children are welcome; however, the evening is designed for parents to gather information.
Parents know best if their children can sit quietly for the 45-minute presentation. There is one
part of the program where children who do attend will be addressed.
4) What if I can’t attend the Expo?
One option is to send a relative or friend in your place. Otherwise, we ask that you pick up a
registration packet at your child’s assigned school or the District Office AFTER January 16, 2025.
5) What if I’m not sure if I’m going to send my child to Warwick Kindergarten in 2025?
It is best to go through the process of enrollment, even if you change your mind in the end. That
way, you won’t miss the activities that could potentially help you make your decision.
6) English is my second language. Would I be able to receive translation services to assist me with the enrollment of my child?
Absolutely! Please call Jill Kramer to make those arrangements at 626-3700 x3709.
7) What if I can’t find my child’s birth certificate?
If your child was born in Pennsylvania, birth certificates can be ordered through the PA
Department of Health, Vital Records. You can visit their website here or call them at 1-844-228-3516. Other items allowed for proof of birthdate include: passport, baptismal certificate, and notarized parental statement.
8) What if I don’t know what school my child would attend?
Call the Enrollment Office at 626-3700 x3709 or click here to view the attendance area by street listing.
9) Does Warwick have ½ day or full-day Kindergarten?
Warwick School District offers a full-day kindergarten program for all students from 7:55 am –
2:35 pm. Students are assigned to balanced classrooms after the kindergarten assessment data
is compiled in June. Students whose parents express an interest in a half-day, morning-only
kindergarten session will indicate that interest at or after assessments by completing a waiver
form. If you opt out of the full-day session, the parent or childcare provider must provide
transportation at the pickup time of 11:25 am.
10) What if I have other specific concerns about sending my child to Kindergarten?
Feel free to call Jill Kramer in our enrollment office at 626-3700 x3709.
