Time to get your kids ready for kindergarten

Posted April 12, 2009 11:00 pm

Families whose children plan to attend Elgin Area School District U-46 as kindergartners for the 2009-10 school year should attend kindergarten orientation between now and April 21 to register for classes. Children who will turn 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2009, are eligible to register.

Families are asked to register at the school that their child will be attending. For school boundaries, visit u-46.org and use the "School Information" pull-down menu to view the online database. If you need further assistance, call the communications office at (847) 888-5000, ext. 5040. The entire kindergarten orientation schedule is available on the Web site. Parents or guardians must bring the child's birth certificate and three proofs of residence in the district. Registration forms, immunization requirements and other materials will be distributed at the orientation. U-46 has a First Day Exclusion policy for physical examinations and immunizations. Physical exam documents must be brought to the school on or before the first day of class. Area physicians and all U-46 schools have a supply of the state-approved physical exam forms. The forms are also available at u-46.org/healthservices/HealthForms.htm. For details on the requirement for physical examinations and immunizations, call (847) 888-5000, ext. 5335.
