Is your child old enough to start kindergarten in the Fall of 2012? If so, it will be here sooner than you think – and most importantly, it’s almost time to register your child for school NOW!
Kindergarten registration is Thursday, April 19 for all public schools in the Richmond region. Children who will be age 5 by September 30 can start kindergarten this fall. But first, they need to be registered.
Registering for kindergarten on time can prevent attendance delays. On-time registration gives the school a chance to give you important information about events and activities that will help your child feel comfortable when school starts. A health exam is required and sometimes the need for additional screenings or immunizations are identified. Making sure your child is healthy and ready for kindergarten can prevent your child from experiencing problems in the classroom.
When you register for kindergarten on time at your child’s school, your child will receive a fun PBS Kids activity booklet and a FREE pass to the Children’s Museum of Richmond. So don’t delay – register your child on time – mark April 19 on your calendar today.
For more specific information about times or what to bring, call 2-1-1 or go to the informational website.
The counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent and Powhatan and the cities of Colonial Heights, Petersburg and Richmond have a common date for kindergarten registration: April 19, 2012.
