What is your district's age cutoff for kindergarten? DS1 turns 5 at the end of March ( ) so kindergarten is on our radar...turns out *technically* the district cutoff is Sept 5. BUT, if they are 5 before March 1 they go to full day K, if they turn 5 after March 1 they go to half day. IF they go to half day K, they have to do full day K the next year before they go on to 1st grade.
Doesn't this seem weird? Like...if we do half day K (which is technically just like preschool?), he will turn 7 during his full day K year. Isn't that old for a kindergartener? What if we moved districts? Would he be the oldest person in his grade forever? Do other districts do this?
Help! I'm freaking out! Most of this can be attributed to anxiety over my first leaving the nest but...
