Beacon Elementary in the Montesano School District is ready to register the Class of 2032.

Kindergarten open enrollment for the 2019-20 school year began April 22., 2019

Children who turn 5-year-olds before Sept. 1 are eligible for full-day kindergarten. A link to enroll students online “will be available on the Montesano School District website at www.monteschools.org,” according to a release from Beacon. Registering online requires use of the Skyward Family Access system. “If you do not have access to a computer, you may access one at (a Timberland Regional Library branch) or at the Beacon office. For Skyward assistance, please call the Beacon office at 360-249-4528,” the release states.

Beacon Elementary officials also would like to encourage parents to sign up children for a free preschool development screening.

“The primary purpose of our preschool program is to serve students with special needs,” the release states. “A developmental preschool for three and four-year-olds is available to qualifying children with delays in communication, social/emotional, adaptive, cognitive, and/or physical development. In addition, a limited number of preschool spots are also available to income-eligible students as part of ECEAP (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program).”
