Kids grow up so fast. One day they are in diapers and the next, parents are taking their children to their kindergarten class for the first time. For most kids, they fit in rather easily and instantly make new friends.
On March 25, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., McCleary Elementary is hosting a kindergarten registration event for new students.
Children who will be five by September 30, 2021, can attend the event.
The pre-registration forms are available online at www.craig.k12.va.us and on the Craig County Public Schools website.
Parents should complete this online form and choose a time slot in which they and their child may come to school to complete additional paperwork, meet the staff and tour the building.
The kindergarten registration event will be hosted in the high school gymnasium.
To properly register for the event, adults will need to provide the following documents:
- An original certified copy of the child’s birth certificate
- School entrance health form
- Immunization record
- Proof of residency (acceptable forms are – payroll check stub within the last two months, U.S. IRS tax reporting W-2 form or 1099 form not more than 12 months old, monthly bank statement not more than two months old, current gas, electric or sewer bill (cell phone bill not accepted), receipt for personal property taxes or real estate taxes, current homeowners or renter’s insurance policy or bill or deed, mortgage, monthly mortgage statement or residential rental /lease agreement)
For specific questions on entrance, people may contact the school or Principal Gerri VanDyke at (540) 864-5173 or email at gvandyke@craig.k12.va.us.
The teachers are looking forward to welcoming their new students for a year of laughter and fun, interesting adventures, and lots of learning.
