Registration for Poland Kindergarten to be March 5 and 12

Registration for children entering Poland Local Schools Kindergarten this fall will take place on two consecutive Saturdays - March 5 and 12. Children presently enrolled in Poland’s Union Kindergartens, do not reregister for first grade.

All Kindergarten registrations will take place at Union Elementary School, located at 30 Riverside Drive. Registration will be from 9 a.m. until noon on both Saturdays. You will be able to register your children for the preschool and afterschool care programs that take place at North Elementary on those dates, as well. New students entering Poland Schools next fall in grades 1-4 may register at this time also. It is not necessary to bring your child or siblings to the registration process.

Parents or guardians must provide the following information in original form. It is imperative that you bring these items at the time or registration, the school cannot register your child without them: the child’s original, raised seal, birth certificate and Social Security Card; the child’s immunization records; proof of residency (mortgage documents, house closing papers or rental agreement); parent identification (drivers license and two current utility bills or credit card statements) and, if applicable, custody papers.

Be advised that no registration papers will be given out before March 5.

A child entering Kindergarten must be 5-years of age on or before Aug. 1 to be eligible for admission. Those entering first grade must be 6-years of age on or before Aug. 1. If your child attended another school for Kindergarten and has a birthday after Aug. 1, you will be referred to the school psychologist before your child is enrolled.

A screening program is planned for April 5-6. Parents will be given an appointment time for screening during the registration process. It is important that all incoming kindergarten students are registered and screened.
