Kindergarten Assessment Testing
In accordance with Nebraska statute, students may enter kindergarten if they turn five years of age on or before July 31. However, if your child was born between August 1 and October 15, he or she is eligible to participate in an assessment conducted by Lincoln Public Schools to determine possible early entrance to kindergarten.
You can obtain an application from your neighborhood school starting April 1, 2020. You need to fill out an application and register for the assessment with the neighborhood school at least one week prior to the beginning of each round of testing. Application, and certified birth certificate will be due at the time of the registration. The birth certificate will be copied and returned. There is no charge.
