Christiansburg Primary, Falling Branch Elementary, Elliston-Lafayette

Kindergarten is offered
at all elementary schools. All children
are eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall of 2007 if they are five years
of age by September 30, 2007. 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 for 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.
