Could you start him in kindergarten in your home district and then "move" to your Hub's school district 1-2 weeks after school starts? I knew another two-body couple who did this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668460283955922895.post-66074061983718232362013-03-09T19:05:03.975-08:002013-03-09T19:05:03.975-08:00I would try another school.
If that doesn't...I would try another school. <br /><br />If that doesn't work, you then need to answer a different question. Do you want him to go ahead with K and go the private route, or do you want him to repeat another year of preK?<br /><br />I commented last week in your post from late November about this. My town allows kids whose birthdays are from September-December to enter first grade if they have done K at an NAEYC-accredited private school and have a recommendation from the teacher. For us, it was a no-brainer. We were going to have to pay for another year of something, and since our daycare was roughly the same price as the private K, we opted for K. We also couldn't really stomach the idea of our kid doing preK again because she really was ready for K.

I'd think they'd be much more likely to allow him to continue in the same grade.

Google early entrance kindergarten and the name of the state and you should be able to find their guidelines. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
