[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are small - 3 and 2 - so I'm new to this whole red-shirt debate. My 3.5 year old turns 5 on September 14, 2017. Enrollment here for K is September 1, so he will miss the cutoff. If I don't enroll him, am I red-shirting him? We can have him tested to see if he could still enroll due to his birthday being so close to the cut off. Or, is this not considered red shirting since he doesn't make the cut off date and would have to test in to K? [/quote] It would only be redshirting if your child was born on or before Sept. 1 but you didn't enroll them. Example, if your 3.5 yr old turned 5 on August 31, 2017 but you did not choose kindergarten until September 2018 (because your child would be a very young 5) that is redshirting. So your child would then start K at 6 yrs old. [/quote]
