Kindergarten Plus
 Kindergarten Plus is an optional, tuition-based, extended day program that complements traditional free morning kindergarten. The program is a collaboration between Elementary Education, which oversees the morning kindergarten program, and Community Education, which administers the afternoon Kindergarten Plus program. Morning and afternoon sessions are taught by the same licensed kindergarten teacher, resulting in a cohesive, all-day experience for students.
Kindergarten Plus is available to students from all District 196 elementary schools. (Participating Red Pine students are transported to and from Pinewood Community School for Kindergarten Plus.)
2009-10 Registration Information
The registration deadline for the 2009-10 Kindergarten Plus program is 4pm on Friday, January 23.
