||
Who: Children who turned 4-years-old by September 1, 2009, (born 9/2/2004 to 9/1/2005) are eligible to attend either a 2009-2010 school-year VPK program or the 2010 summer VPK program, but not both. Registration for the 2009-2010 school-year VPK program remains open as vacancies become available. Children who will turn 4-years-old by September 1, 2010, (born 9/2/2005 to 9/1/2006) are eligible to attend school-year VPK starting August 2010. Registrations for the 2010-2011 school-year program will begin in February 2010. What: School-year VPK classes are funded by the State of Florida and are offered 3 hours daily from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Enrolled VPK students are eligible to also attend an enrichment part of the day offered from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. VPK and enrichment hours create a seamless 6-hour day taught by a teaching team comprised of a certified teacher and an Early Childhood Professional (ECP). Quality VPK classes prepare children for success in school and later life. Aftercare is available in many schools. The VPK/District Funded Enrichment Program is only offered in certain Title I schools and only students whose families live within a participating school's attendance zone or who have siblings enrolled at the school may apply. (See the column on the right for a list of the schools that currently offer the VPK/District Funded Enrichment Program.) The District funded enrichment portion of the day is offered at no cost to parents and there are a limited number of VPK/District Funded Enrichment Program seats. Final enrollment is determined by a public lottery. When: School-year 2010-2011 will begin August 17, 2010. Registrations will begin on April 8, 2010 at school sites and the District.
