Hitchcock County preschool registration and kindergarten round-up for 2016-17

Tuesday, March 22, 2016

CULBERTSON, Neb. -- There will be a Preschool Registration for all parents living in the Hitchcock County School District who want to register their four-year-old child for the 2016-2017 preschool class in Culbertson.

Only children who have turned four prior to July 31, 2016, will be accepted. Any five-year-olds will be sent on to kindergarten. This registration will be Friday, April 8 at 9 a.m. Parents and children should come to the elementary school so that they can get to know their classroom, teachers and new classmates. The school is also hosting a "Round-Up" meeting for parents and incoming 2016-2017 kindergartners at that time. If there are any questions, please call the elementary school at (308)-278-2131.

Kindergarten is open to children who turn five on or before July 31, 2016. Parents planning to enroll a student in kindergarten should contact the school at (308)-278-2131, if they have not received a letter by April 1 detailing these activities.

If you have a child that will be turning five after July 31, but feel that they are ready for kindergarten, please contact the school as soon as possible. Any child not turning five by July 31 but wanting to enter Kindergarten must take an Early Entrance Exam given by the Educational Service Unit. Please call by Friday, April 1, to make the necessary arrangements.

State law requires a physical examination and visual examination within six months prior to school entrance. The State also requires a copy of current immunizations and a copy of their certified birth certificate.
