  2. Complete the application for admission and fee through myValley.
  3. Request a teacher recommendation through myValley no earlier than December 1. Your child’s teacher will receive an email inviting them to complete the recommendation online. You can track the progress of your child’s application in real time from the admissions checklist in myValley.
  4. Schedule a kindergarten readiness assessment and family meeting. A member of the Admissions Team will contact you by phone to schedule this visit. Visits are scheduled beginning the December before enrollment, and typically last one hour. Applicants for kindergarten complete an individual readiness assessment with the Director of Admissions while families meet with members of the Admissions Team.

  
  We traditionally issue admission decisions in late winter/early spring, and consider later applicants on a rolling, space-available basis. If you have questions about class size or the availability of seats in kindergarten, please contact the Director of Admissions.
