For example, when a child who is not yet six by Sept. 1 enters school, the child is automatically placed in kindergarten even if they completed kindergarten elsewhere.  Then at about six weeks, the child is assessed and moved if they deem it appropriate.  .[/quote]

Off topic from the OP's point, but are you certain this is true for all children? The website is definitely unclear:

"If a child has previously completed the kindergarten year in a public school kindergarten program, the child may be considered as a transfer, although the child's birthdate may not be aligned with the state's age requirements.

Parents/guardians should submit the child's attendance record and any end-of-year transcripts, along with the application, MCPS Form 271-1, Application for Early Entrance First Grade Program, to the school principal for consideration. "

So the child "may" be considered a transfer (or may not be), but has to submit the application for EE1, but also should submit proof of attendance and performance in kindergarten -- ugh.
