Director of Schools, Denise H. Brown, announces pre-registration for students entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2012. Pre-registration is extremely important for planning your child’s educational program for the 2012-2013 school year. PLEASE BRING YOUR CHILD WITH YOU ON THE DAY OF PRE-REGISTRATION. Each child will be screened for kindergarten readiness, including speech. This will allow school personnel to be aware of any need that will require special services. The screening process will take approximately thirty (30) minutes.
