Officials at Culver Community Schools are asking local parents to help them determine whether or not there is a need for Pre-Kindergarten classes for 4 and 5-year-olds within the town of Culver and the surrounding area.
Superintendent Karen Shuman is encouraging interested parents to contact the corporation office and says parents should be ready to answer questions, such as whether or not the child is currently 4 or 5 or if they will be 4 by August 1st of 2018.
They’re also collecting information about preferences for AM, PM or all-day classes. They want to know whether or not the parent is currently working or attending school and if the child would need transportation in order to attend a Culver Pre-K class.
Another question that may be asked is if parents would be willing to pay a weekly rate or if they qualify for low-income assistance. Those that do qualify for assistance can apply for grant funding at onmywayprek.org. Culver Schools are currently in the process of becoming an accredited On My Way Pre-K school, according to United Way of Marshall County Executive Director Linda Yoder.
Parents will be required to provide the name and age of their child as well as current contact information for themselves. To express your interest, contact the Culver Community School corporation office at 574-842-3364.
