Exceptions

exceptions to the minimum age for Kindergarten and First Grade admissions
 shall
be directed
to the Headmaster. The request for exception to the minimum age requirements
must be accompanied by a statement from a certified psychologist that the child
is developmentally, socially, emotionally and academically ready to be enrolled
in kindergarten. No child shall be granted early admission to kindergarten if
he/she will not have attained a chronological age of five years as of September

Headmaster will either recommend approval or disapproval in writing to the Board
of School directors. No student will be considered for enrollment who has not
attained the age of 5 (Kindergarten) or 6 (First Grade) by the September 30th
date.
Waiting List
Students placed on a waiting list will be contacted of openings only at the
beginning of a semester. These students will be contacted in order of their
placement on the waiting list which is determined by the first date of
notification of their intent to enroll. Children of members of Grade Baptist
Church will receive first priority in filling any openings at the beginning of
the semester.
Transfer Students
Transfer students will be interviewed by the Headmaster and will be tested. When
transferring from other schools, it is important to bring the most recent report
card along to the interview. Following acceptance, the Headmaster will make the
