Kindergarten Registration Is Feb. 1

Even though there is still almost five months left of the school year, it’s already time to start thinking about 2012. Kindergarten registration for North Branford residents with children eligible to enter in September 2012 will be held tomorrow, Feb. 1.

Registration will be held at the school, 335 Foxon Road during three separate times: 9 a.m. to noon; 1 to 3 p.m. and 5:30 to 7 p.m. In case of school cancellation due to inclement weather, registration will be moved to Thursday, Feb. 2 at the same times.

To obtain a registration packet, call the school office at 203-484-1235. Registration packets need to be completed and brought to registration. Your child does not need to be present at the time of registration.

In order for a child to be registered in Kindergarten, the following requirements must be met:

1. Child must be five (5) years of age on or before Jan. 1, 2013.
2. The birth record or legal proof of birth has been examined by the principal or designee.
3. Your child must have a 2012 physical exam.  The physician and the parent must complete the blue Health Assessment Record provided by the school. This form must be filed with the school prior to the first day of Kindergarten.
4. Proof of residency has been examined and approved by principal or designee (utility bill and/or voter registration form).

In addition, if you have specific concerns about your preschool child’s development, call 203-484-1235, for further information.
