For future Lake of the Woods school students, we have one “in-school” option for pre-kindergarten.
Operated and funded through Lake of the Woods School, our School Readiness classroom prioritizes Kindergarten readiness for 4-year-olds. Enrollment is determined on a first-come-first-served basis and total numbers are determined by several factors: number of applications, ages of applicants, funding, etc.
If your student does not qualify for certain types of funding (based on family income, age, etc.), the school may charge a fee for enrollment. Applications are accepted through June 15 with enrollment being determined by mid-July.
School Readiness is designed to prepare students for Kindergarten. As a result, we prioritize students who are 4-years-old by September 1st of the entering school year. The expectation is that your student would enter Kindergarten following their year in School Readiness. There are options if your family chooses to have your student wait to enter Kindergarten, but they are not promised a second-year spot in the School Readiness classroom.
Due to weather, Lake of the Woods School will be closing today, Thursday, January 22 at 1PM. All afterschool activities are cancelled. We will hold an e-learning day tomorrow, Friday, January 23. The School building will be closed and there will be no before or after school activities.
