Kindergarten registration begins April 22

The New Richmond Exempted Village School district will begin kindergarten registration for the 2010-2011 school year on April 22 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at its New Richmond, Monroe and Locust Corner elementary schools.

To attend kindergarten next school year children must be 5 on or before Aug. 1.

“It’s important that we know how many kindergarten students we will have as soon as possible for planning purposes such as classroom sizes and bus routes,” said New Richmond superintendent Tom Durbin. “Plus we want to make sure parents have everything they need to get their children off to a good start in school.”

Parents or guardians registering students must bring certified birth certificates, Social Security cards and immunization records for their children and custody papers if applicable. Parents or guardians also should have photo identification and proof of residency.

Parents unable to make the April 22 registration date can still register their children for kindergarten on consecutive Fridays from April 30 through May 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the elementary schools.
