Children must enter Kindergarten if they will be five years old on or before

 September 30, 2010. Children applying for Pre-K must be four years old on or before September 30, 2010.

Parents need to bring the following items to registration:

- Certified copy of the child’s birth certificate

- Child’s Social Security card

- Immunization record

- Information on whom to contact in case of emergency during school hours

The child must have a physical examination within one year before entering school.  Immunizations against mumps, measles, German measles, whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria,  poliomyelitis, Hepatitis B and chicken pox are required.  The examining physician must complete a special form, “School Entrance Physical Examination and Immunization Certificate Number MCH-213C,” stating that the child has been immunized (and the dates of the immunization) against these communicable diseases.  Copies of this form can be obtained from Norton Elementary School.

Parents are urged to make appointments with family physicians or the health department for the required examination and immunizations as soon as possible.  For more information on registering for school, call 679-0971.
