Kindergarten roundup meetings to be held April 11

by Natalie Kirton

Children  gain the basics of understanding colors, letters and numbers through preschool and kindergarten. The things they learn at this early age become the building blocks of their future education. 

There will be a parents’ meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Wed. April 11 regarding kindergarten roundup held in the elementary library. Parents must bring updated immunization records and birth certificates to the meeting. Also, children must be at least five years old by Sept. 15, 2012 to be enrolled in kindergarten next year.

The actual kindergarten roundup event will be held on Monday, April 16. Current preschool students should report to the preschool room as usual, but afterwards will be sent to the library. There will be two roundup sessions: one for the morning preschool class and another for the afternoon class. 

A parents’ meeting for preschool registration will be on Wed. May 2 at 5:30 p.m. in the elementary library. Parents must bring their child’s birth certificate, social security number and immunization records. 

Children must be four years old by Sept. 15 to be enrolled in preschool. Parents of children who are nearing preschool age can contact the elementary office at 623-5129 for more information.
