Pre-school Screening and Kindergarten Registration


Preschool Screening and Kindergarten Registration

 

            Preschool screening and Kindergarten registration will be held on Thursday, March 8th and Friday, March 9th at James R. Wood Elementary.  Children aged 3, 4, and 5 are eligible for screening.  The areas of screening include vision, hearing, speech, and development.  In addition, there will be a birth to three years screening on Thursday, the 8th, only.  In order for children to be considered for our preschool programs, they must be screened on these dates.  Screening is an excellent opportunity for parents and educators to discuss skills that are necessary for early school success.  Please call Jennifer Kulton at 498-3495 for an appointment.  

            Kindergarten registration for the 2007-2008 school year will be held at the same time and location.  Children must be 5 on or before September 1st, 2007 to be registered for Kindergarten.  Parents need to bring their child’s county birth certificate and social security number to registration.  In accordance with state law, hospital birth certificates are not acceptable.  If you are new to the district, you will also need to show proof of residency at this time.  This is done by filling out a Certificate of Residence form at school and showing at least three of the following:

               1. Driver’s license

               2. Home ownership title or deed

               3. Apartment lease

               4. Voter registration

               5. Utility bills (water, gas, electric)

               6. Automobile insurance
