Morrow County School District has announced it will offer a Ready for Kindergarten preschool program designed to instill all 4-year-old Morrow County children with the skills and resources necessary to ensure kindergarten readiness.

The goal is to provide all 4-year-olds in Heppner, Irrigon and Boardman with the opportunity to receive a preschool education.

Children will be taught in four classes with up to 20 children each for two days per week, 2.5 hours per day from approximately Sept. 6, 2016 through May 18, 2017.

Two classrooms will be located in Head Start’s Irrigon Early Learning Center. These classes are from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., one class Monday/Wednesday mornings and another class Tuesday/Thursday mornings.

Two classrooms will be located at Sam Boardman Elementary. These classes are from 1:30 to 4 p.m., one class Monday/Wednesday afternoons and another class Tuesday/Thursday afternoons.
