If you have a little one starting kindergarten next year, it’s never too soon to start planning and helping your school plan, too.
With kindergarten registration having started on March 1, here are a few tips and reminders to help both first-time parents with kindergartners, as well as those who have done this a time or two.
The Early Bird Gets the Worm! Sign up as soon as possible. Your assigned school can only plan classrooms and teachers based on the number of students registered. As you can imagine, this planning takes time, so the earlier students are registered, the better prepared schools can be for the new school year.
Who, What, Where? This year registration is online, so simply visit your child’s assigned school website to register. Be prepared with your child’s birth certificate, two documents that prove residence and your child’s immunization records.
Stuck in a Moving Pattern? Are you waiting to close on your house, or perhaps, building a new house and haven’t closed? Simply complete the preregistration, also online on your assigned school’s website, to get the process started while you wait for final documentation.
Pack Up! Don’t forget to check with your school to request a supply list or ask if school supply packs are offered for purchase at the school.
Get in the Know. Reach out to your new school’s Parent Teacher Organization. It’s never too early to get involved or to simply get informed.
