Poll: Should Scarsdale Keep Dec. 31 Kindergarten Cut-Off?

Take a minute to take our poll.

The news that district kindergarten registration is ending tomorrow got us thinking: is Dec. 31 the right cut-off for enrollment for Scarsdale?

It means that children can enter K at 4, but must turn 5 on or before Dec. 31 of that year.

Many districts have retained this calendar-year option (including New York City) while others across the country have moved it to October 1 or even September.

There are many arguments for and against and we'll assume if this question catches your eye, you've probably researched all of them exhaustively.

So tell us, what do you think?
