Kindergarten registration process begins for District 833

Families in South Washington County Schools with children who will be five years old on or before Sept. 1, 2008, are eligible for kindergarten in the fall of 2008.

The Office of Student Information of District 833 has mailed out the kindergarten packets to eligible students that are on the district’s census. The packet includes information about Kindergarten Enrollment Night, Immunizations, School Age Child Care, the K-plus Program, Spanish Immersion Program, transportation and enrollment forms.

Parents and their child are invited to attend Kindergarten Enrollment Night at their elementary school on Monday, Feb. 25, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The evening is intended as the opportunity to register for kindergarten, see the classrooms, visit with teachers and staff.

Completed forms may be returned to the school on enrollment night or mailed to the Office of Student Information, District Service Center, 7362 E. Point Douglas Rd. S., Cottage Grove, MN 55016.

If you have not received a packet by Jan. 22, and your child is eligible for kindergarten next year, born on or before Sept. 1, 2003, contact the Student Information Office at (651) 458-6218.

Families who do not plan to send their eligible kindergartner to school in the fall or plan to enroll their child in a private or out-of-district program are asked to notify the Office of Student Information of their plans at (651) 458-6218.
