HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Parents of three and four year olds in Hutchinson USD 308, there are still spots for your little ones.
"We have about 50 spots available," said Krystal Young with USD 308. "Some of those are for 3-year-olds, and some of those are for 4-year-olds. We would love to have all of our programs full, between Head Start, Early Education Center and USD 308 Pre-K. If you haven't yet applied, you can definitely go to our website and find the information, or you can just call our Head Start at (620) 615-5750."
All services are provided at no cost to families, but you must live in Reno County and bring proof of income and proof of age for the child, so they know which classroom you qualify for.
Also enrolling is USD 308's Virtual School.
"We have a good system in place for sitting down, meeting with parents, helping them explain the curriculum that is being used, what software is being used, how that works," said USD 308 Superintendent Dawn Johnson. "How do you align yourself and have some self-discipline at home to get through the program? We really have a lot of great teachers in the virtual program. They're meeting with students in the evenings, meeting with students on weekends, having calls and conversations with parents that make that work and make it be very successful."
