Ready for Success: What Families Want to Know about Starting School in Nebraska
Nebraska Department of Education
This booklet is in response to commonly asked questions from parents about preparing for, and entering kindergarten. Some questions parents ask are about district policy. Nebraska has over 200 individual school districts, each having their own board, superintendent, and policies. The Nebraska Department of Education provides guidance and assistance to these districts. Understanding what is state law (such as the entrance age) and what is district policy (such as the early entry assessment procedure) can be confusing. Parents are encouraged to talk with school teachers and administrators for specific guidance. A reading list of books about school parents can read with their children, and a list od web-based supports for school readiness are also provided. [This guide was also produced by the Nebraska Early Childhood Interagency Coordination Council (ECICC). Additional funding was provided by the Nebraska Head Start-State Collaboration Office.
