Registration for children entering kindergarten in Poland Local Schools this fall will take place on March 2 and 9.
All kindergarten registrations will take place at Union Elementary School, located at 30 Riverside Drive. Registration will take place from 9 a.m. until noon on both days.
Children presently enrolled in Union Kindergartens do not re-register for first grade.
Parents can register their children for the preschool and after school care programs at Union Elementary on these dates. New students, entering Poland Schools next fall, in grades 1-5, may register at this time as well. It is not necessary to bring your child or siblings to the registration process.
Parents or guardians must provide the following information in original forms: the child’s 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 custody papers, if applicable. There items must be present at the time of registration. No registration papers will be given out before March 2.
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 a child attended another school for kindergarten and has a birthday after Aug. 1, parents of that child will be referred to the school psychologist before that child can be enrolled.
A screening program is planned for April 2-3. Parents will be given an appointment time for the screening during the registration process. It is important that all incoming kindergarten students are registered and screened.
