Early Access to K information

📚🖍️EARLY ACCESS TO KINDERGARTEN📚🖍️
Children who are 5 years old by August 15, 2026, are eligible to enroll in kindergarten. However, children who turn 5 between August 16 and September 30, 2026, have an opportunity to be assessed to determine readiness for early access to kindergarten.
The intent of early access is to identify highly capable children who miss the regular August 15 cutoff for kindergarten entrance.
Early access to kindergarten is a whole-grade acceleration that is designed for the exceptional child who is academically, developmentally, and socially advanced as compared to others of his or her chronological age.
We are accepting early access to kindergarten applications for the 2026-2027 school year through May 1, 2026. Additional information can be found on the cheatham county school district website!

Employee of the Month

Cindy Weakley, our Dean of Students, has diligently developed ours school's master schedule in order to maximize instruction and RT time for all students throughout the day. The schedule also includes the mandated time for the related arts classes, recess and student support services, such as ELL and SPED intervention. Developing a school master schedule is time consuming and is not as easy task! Cindy has done an exceptional job! She has done this in addition to her duties as Dean of Students. She has helped implement behavior plans for students and often takes the time to "just talk and listen" to students, as well as staff. Cindy is a team player, eager to help in any situation, and is invaluable to our school. She is very deserving of this recognition!
