Parents of students who are not old enough to enter Kindergarten (5 by Sept.1)
can have their child tested for readiness. Please register for testing in the
office and the testing will be done around the end of May.
We would like to extend a warm and hearty welcome to everyone. We are anxiously looking forward to working with you and your child this year. We will strive to provide a unique and rewarding first year experience at Pomeroy. As teachers of Elementary Education, specializing in Early Childhood, we are also aware of your feelings of excitement and concerns as parents. Please know that we care about your child as an individual and we will do our best to meet his or her needs and provide rewarding experiences.
