!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT !!
CHANGE TO KINDERGARTEN ENRTY AGE DATE
As of September 11, 2024, an important change occurred regarding the kindergarten entry age.
The Tri-Valley School District has established a new entry age for kindergarten as five (5) years old before August 16th of the current school term. This change replaces the previous requirement of being five by September 1st.
We believe this adjustment will better align our enrollment practices with our new 4-year-old Kindergarten Program, developmental readiness and ensure that our students have the best start to their educational journey.

Transportation Information: Transportation is provided to and from school for each child in as an efficient manner as possible. Assignments may be made by place of residence or permanent babysitter situations. If arrangements for a child are located at a home other than his or her own residence and the normal established bus routes do not serve that particular area, it then becomes the parent’s responsibility to provide transportation.
Compulsory School Age: Through the enactment of Act 16, the definition of compulsory school age was changed to “the period of a child’s life from the time the child’s parents elect to have the child enter school and which shall be no later than 6 years of age until the child reaches 18 years of age. The term does not include a child who holds a certificate of graduation from a regularly accredited, licensed, registered or approved high school.” 24 P.S. §13-1326.
School Building Assignments: The Tri-Valley School District consists of almost 100 square miles and has two elementary schools; Hegins-Hubley Elementary School in Hegins Township and Mahantongo Valley Elementary School in Upper Mahantongo Township. Confirmation of building assignments will NOT be made until after kindergarten registration dates have passed and the District has had time to analyze data (including class size projections and many other factors) in an effort to equalize enrollment K-6 at both of our elementary buildings. Building assignment notification will be provided to parents as soon as confirmations have been made. Generally this takes place over the summer months.
