Maddie is a Feb baby so I don't have much to worry about, but I'm curious. I'm in the Connetquot SD

I believe it's a New York State Statute that makes the date December 1st statewide...
Although I know that East Hampton wanted to change it to September first for this school year..Im not sure if they did or not.

New York City is Dec. 31st, and I believe all of LI is Dec. 1st.

Most LI districts cut off Dec 1. The few exceptions that I know of are Hauppauge and Half Hollow Hills. They cut off Dec 31. If you have a child that misses the Dec 1 cut off but is 5 by Dec 31, they can sit in a private program and "test into" first grade.

My understanding is that a lot of LI districts are considering this. I think it has to do with reading/math scores and keeping them up. Most parts of the country actually cut off anywhere from July through September.

Many districts will take this into account. A child can test into kindergarten or first grade depending on previous schooling.
