KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE SCREENING NEEDED FOR ADMISSIONS
​
Thank you for considering Saint Bridget School, a safe and secure Catholic elementary school on the South Shore of Boston. Many factors determine a child’s readiness for Kindergarten and First Grade. Among them are the child’s chronological age, social and emotional maturity, academics needs, as well as fine and gross motor skills. Please be aware that in order to provide a quality education for all at Saint Bridget’s School, our Admissions Policy for Kindergarten and First Grade requires screening.
Children will be evaluated based upon their readiness through the use of a screening inventory. Screening will be arranged after a complete application is received and review by Administration. Parents will be contacted to arrange a date and time for their child's screening.
