4K Program

Lake Country School's philosophy of the four-year-old kindergarten program is to create a safe, nurturing, and enriching classroom environment.  Here, students are given the opportunities and guidance to explore, manipulate, and create with the goal of accomplishing kindergarten readiness and fostering a love of learning. Our curriculum is guided by the Wisconsin Model for Early Learning Standards.

4K/NEW 5K SCREENING

 Hello 4-year-old and 5-year-old Kindergarten Parents,

In preparation for next year, we would like the opportunity to get to know our future students the best we can. In getting to know each child, we are able to make some instructional plans for the upcoming school year as well as make sound decisions about class placements. We want each classroom environment to be the strongest it can be.

We have rescheduled our May screening for Wednesday, August 12th.  This of course is subject to change pending State and/or Health Department recommendations.  We will be streamlining the process this year.  You child will have the opportunity to meet, one on one with a few different Lake Country School staff members.  Some of the activities your child can expect to participate in include (but are not limited to) cutting and coloring, answering basic academic questions, and writing his/her name. There will be no group activities this year.  They will only meet for a short time to allow for all students to be seen and should be done in no more than 30 minutes.  Extra precautions will be taken to keep everyone safe.  Temperatures will be taken upon arrival.  Your child will receive their own supplies to use and take home.  The stations will be wiped down in between each screening.  Teachers will be wearing a mask or shield but it will be up to you at this point whether you would like your child to wear one.   After we review the information, if additional follow-up is needed, a staff member will be in touch with you.

In this email, we have included two forms that need to be filled out and brought to the screening on August 12th.  (CLICK HERE TO VIEW/PRINT MENTIONED FORMS)

1. The DIAL-4 Parent Questionnaire. This questionnaire allows you to reflect on and rate specific behaviors related to normal development.

2. A request form to contact your child’s preschool, daycare, and/or 4-K teachers.  We will only contact your child’s childcare provider or teacher on an as-needed basis. You would be informed before contact is made. In certain cases, we appreciate knowing previous child care provider’s impressions, to help make a smooth transition to kindergarten and provide the most appropriate classroom situation for your child.

If you have not already done so, please return the 2020-21 Enrollment form, Student Needs form and if needed the Stay N Play form as soon as possible.  You can mail them in, email it to actonl@mylakecountryschool.org or fax to (262) 367-3205.  If you are not able to before, please bring them to the screening with you.

Thank you for your time, support, and patience! We look forward to meeting you.  Any questions can be directed to Lisa Acton, school secretary, at 367-3606.

Sincerely,

The Lake Country 4K and 5K Team
