Culver Elementary School Finalizing Preparations for Pre-K Program

Culver Elementary School is getting ready to welcome its first preschool students. “We are full-fledged still going forward,” Superintendent Karen Shuman told the school board last week. “We have two sections of preschool in place. [Transportation Director] Paul [Widman] and I have worked out the transportation routes, so they’ll be attending the same number of hours as the regular students, and we’ll keep mapping that out as registration comes.”

Culver Elementary School Principal Erin Proskey told board members that the pre-K program will accept three- and four-year-olds. Classes are five days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Proskey said the cost is $60 per week for each child. That includes transportation, breakfast, and lunch.

The first day of school is August 7.
