Deerfield School District 109 recently issued the following announcement.

Online registration for Early Learners will open at 8:00 a.m. on December 3rd and will close on January 4.

Due to the high volume of interest from our returning families whose children are current Early Learners students, we are already at capacity for our full-day program for the 2019-20 school year. Space in our morning 3-year-old classes and afternoon 4-year-old classes is still available. Please note the age requirements for the program outlined below.

Early Learners Age Requirements for the 2019-20 School Year:

• Children must be 3-years-old by September 1, 2019 to register for the AM 3-year-old class.
• Children must be 4-years-old by September 1, 2019 to register for the PM PreK class.
• Children who will be 5-years-old by September 1, 2019 are of kindergarten age and should be enrolled in kindergarten.
