School Lunch will be served and recess time provided. The Kindergarten program follows the Collingswood Public Schools district calendar, except on the first day of school which is an abbreviated schedule and orientation for the newest members of our school community. Note: When school has a single session day the program will run from 8:30am - 12:30pm. School doors open at 8:15 am.

Where will the program be held?
The program is held in each of our elementary schools.

Please note the Board-approved practice for assigning kindergarten students outlined here. While the administration makes every effort to assign students to the school closest to their homes, this is not always possible. If the number of students living in a particular school zone exceed the number of available seats, the administrators will use the process below to determine final assignments.
