Edmond Schools set kindergarten pre-registration dates

EDMOND — Edmond Public Schools will pre-register kindergarten students for the 2013-14 school year at all elementary school sites from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 27 and March 28.

Parents should take the following items with them when they go to the school to pre-register their child:

• Two proofs of residency — A current gas, electric or water and sewer bill and a mortgage contract, deed or lease agreement.

• Legal birth certificate — A certificate issued by the state or county where the child was born. He or she must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2013.

• Immunization record — the Oklahoma School Immunization Law requires records provided by a licensed physician or public health authority that clearly indicates which immunizations have been received, the dates they were administered and the signature or stamp of the physician or health clinic that administered the immunizations or interpreted the immunization history.  

Parents who have applied for a transfer to a school other than their neighborhood school should pre-register at their neighborhood school unless they have been notified that their transfer request has been granted.

Students who will attend kindergarten in 2013-14 at Frontier Elementary may complete their enrollment packets at John Ross, Washington Irving or West Field elementary schools.

Russell Dougherty and Clegern are open enrollment elementary schools. Parents who have been notified that their child has been accepted as a kindergartner at either school should follow the enrollment process outlined in their notification letter.

More information and enrollment forms may be found by going to www.edmondschools.net or by contacting Jan Harris at 340-2277.
