DeKalb County Schools would like to share two upcoming dates with parents for the 2014-15 school year concerning enrollment in the pre-kindergarten program and the kindergarten classroom.
“Smithville Elementary will have pre-K pre-registration on Friday, May 9 from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. DeKalb West School will be having a registration day at a later time,” said Michelle Burklow, Supervisor of Instruction for Pre-K through 6th grade.
“Parents interested in applying for the pre-K program should be aware that your child must turn four years old on or before August 15. When you come to register the student for the pre-K program, parents you will need to provide the following information:
*Original certificate of birth. This is the birth certificate with the state seal.
*Paperwork showing an up to date physical examination. You can get this from your doctor or health department. Make sure they are aware that this form will be used for enrollment in school.
*A certification of immunization record or shot record. Again, make the doctor or health department aware that this form will also be used in registering the child for school.
*Proof of income for all household members.
*Proof of residency. An electric bill. Cable bill. Water bill. Any type of documentation that has your name and address on the paperwork.
Parents, you will be notified prior to the start of school if your child qualifies for the pre-K program. Once the committee meets, teachers will be given a list of their classroom names and they will call and let you know if your child has been accepted into the program. Again, this date is only for Smithville Elementary pre-K registration. DeKalb West School will be having a registration day at a later time,” said Burklow.
Meanwhile, Smithville Elementary and DeKalb West School will have kindergarten pre-registration on Friday, May 16 from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Children who plan to attend kindergarten must turn five years old on or before August 15, 2014.
Parents, when you come for that registration, you will need to bring with you the following information:
*Original certificate of birth. The birth certificate with the state seal.
*The physical examination record. It must be current and up to date.
*Up to date certification of immunization record (shot record)
*Proof of residency for DeKalb County.
“Parents, please share with your child that he or she will be tested on registration day. This is an opportunity for your child to show the kindergarten teachers what he or she knows,” Burklow concluded
