Important Information for 2025-2026 Kindergarten Families
Welcome to Kindergarten! We hope you and your future Kindergarten student are enjoying the summer. As we get ready for the first days of Kindergarten, we will be holding a Kindergarten screener. The purpose of a Kindergarten screening is not to test how much your child knows; but, rather it is to assess where your child is with their Kindergarten readiness skills. This will allow their teacher time to plan how to best support your child starting on the very first day of school. Your child will spend approximately 10 minutes with a teacher to complete the kindergarten screening.
All screenings will take place at Valley Elementary School, 3100 Donallen Drive, Bensalem, PA.
