Any NJ primary school cutoff later than sept 30?

Question

my son is born Oct 5,2002 most counties in NJ have cutoff Sept 30 to calculate age to enter school, so he has to sit athome for a year. Are there any areas which relax this restricition ? many thanks for your advice.

Answer 1

The only relevant cut off date is your own school district.

Back in the stone age (1950's) the town I lived in had a cut off date if January 1. I was born on the 10th. That made me one of the oldest in my class.

In the long run, I think that helped me. So, don't worry about your son's entry into school.

If you want to, you can do kindergarten as a home schooler.
