Kindergarten/Preschool Registration Begins February 6, 2006
Montgomery County Public Schools kindergarten registration will begin February 6, 2006 and will continue throughout the remainder of the school year. Pre-school registration is scheduled for February 6, 2006 – April 7, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at all elementary schools with a preschool program.
Preschool is offered to eligible children at the following schools: Auburn Elementary, Belview Elementary, Christiansburg Primary, Elliston Lafayette Elementary, Falling Branch Elementary, Kipps Elementary, Margaret Beeks Elementary, Price’s Fork Elementary, and Shawsville Elementary. Please call the school in your attendance area to find out if your child is eligible to enroll in preschool.
Kindergarten is offered at all elementary schools. All children are eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall of 2006 if they are five years of age by September 30, 2006. This is in accordance with changes found in the 1990 cumulative supplement to the Virginia School Laws.
State law and Montgomery County School Board policies require parents to provide the child’s birth certificate and social security card when a child enrolls in a public school. Parents/guardians will be asked to provide proof of residence (utility bill, rent/lease agreement, etc.) before a child can attend school in the fall. A medical doctor must complete the School Entrance Physical Examination and Immunization Certification form.
All enrollment forms are available on the Montgomery County Public Schools’ website at www.mcps.org. These forms can be downloaded, filled out, and taken to your child’s school when you go to enroll. Questions should be directed to the school in which the child expects to enroll. You may contact individual schools about special events that may be planned.
