It is very important , if she does not start this year this will cause her to be a year behind. When I registered her she was given a packet that I taught her over the summer. She has been counting down the days until school starts t then Friday 30th I get a call saying she's to young and will not be able to attend. Three days before school. Virginia Beach public schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. I beg to differ.
