KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION SET

 

 

Kindergarten registration in Hamilton County, for children who will be five (5) years of age on or before September 1, 2010, has been scheduled for the following dates and times:

 

            Dahlgren        Monday, February 22, 2010 from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.

 

            East Side       Tuesday, February 23, 2010 from 3:00 – 5:30 p.m.

or

                                    Wednesday, February 24, 2010 from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.

 

A.         Parents must bring the following to registration:

(1)               Child’s legal birth certificate (not the hospital certificate)

(2)               Immunization Records (showing the day, month, and year of each inoculation)

(3)               Social Security Card

Note:    If your child is enrolled in Hamilton County Pre-School, you will only need to bring the child’s social security card.  All pre-school health records are on file.

 

State law requires that all children entering school in Illinois, or prior to admission, shall present evidence of immunity against:  Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Rubeola (measles), Poliomyelitis, Rubella, Mumps, and Varicella.  DPT, Polio, and MMR boosters after age 4 are required to enter kindergarten.  Hepatitis immunizations are recommended.  Appointments for shots through the Hamilton County Health Department can be made at that time.

 

NOTICE:         Parents of students who live on current Dahlgren bus routes or in Dahlgren should register their child at Dahlgren School; all other parents should register their child at East Side School.  It is anticipated that where you register is where your child will attend.  If you prefer otherwise, you must let the principal of the building in which you register know in writing on the day of registration.  ALSO, parents who do not register their child on the designated days may not get their preferred choice of school attendance center when class size is balanced.  Tentatively, there will be three classes at East Side and one class at Dahlgren.  The administration will be assigning students to buildings and classes in order to balance classes as best as possible.

 

B.        At the start of school, parents must provide:

(1)               Completed Immunization and Lead Screening Records

(2)               Physical & Dental Exams (on the correct state school forms) - completed in entirety.

(3)               An Eye Examination (on the correct state school form).      

 

C.        The Southern Illinois District 15 Masons will be present to create a free “Child Find” packet for your child, if you choose to participate.                  

 

It is very important that all kindergarten students are registered early, so that transportation can be arranged, information regarding health requirements can be distributed, and class size can be determined.
