The Sheboygan Area School District is thrilled to announce that four-year-old kindergarten (4K) classes at the Early Learning Center, Lincoln-Erdman, and Cleveland Elementary School will add an additional school day this fall, making the program five days per week. Previously, 4K students attended four days per week with no school on Wednesdays.

The Sheboygan Area School District’s 4K programs offer age-appropriate learning experiences that support social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development, as well as general learning skills for all children. The change to five days per week will positively impact students by increasing these learning experiences by 20%.

In addition to classroom time, student learning will be enriched with parent outreach activities held at school and in collaboration with community partners. These activities aim to foster partnerships between families and schools, support families as the primary educators of their children, and establish beneficial connections with community resources.

The Early Learning Center and Lincoln-Erdman Elementary School will offer morning and afternoon sessions Monday through Friday, and Cleveland Elementary School will offer a morning session Monday through Friday. One Monday per month will be designated for Parent Outreach events, in place of a school day. The official 4K calendar is now available on the school websites and can be found here.

"We are excited that our youngest students will now have the opportunity for more learning time on a weekly basis. This new five-day schedule will provide greater consistency for families while also enhancing students' development in both social and academic skills, better preparing them for kindergarten," said Dr. Jacob Konrath, Superintendent of Schools.

Children who are four years old by September 1 are eligible to enroll in a 4K program. The Early Learning Center is the only school in the District designed exclusively for 3 and 4-year-old children and serves the entire District boundary. Lincoln-Erdman and Cleveland Elementary Schools offer education from 4K to 5th grade.

SASD 4K and elementary school offices are closed the month of July. Staff will return in August for online registration starting August 1 and will be available to answer any questions.
