2010-2011 Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten registration for the 2010-2011 school year will be
held on Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Registration will be held at
Prairie Grove Elementary School, 3223 IL Route 176, Crystal Lake,
IL 60014, from 1:00 P.M.-3:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Children
who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2010 (born on
or before September 1, 2005) are eligible for Kindergarten in
August, 2010. You must be a resident of District 46. This requires
providing at least two forms of proof - a driver’s license and
voter’s registration card. If you do not have a voter’s
registration card, then three current utility bills may be
substituted for this requirement. Gas, electric, and water bills
will be accepted, but telephone and cable television bills will not
be accepted. Families who have recently moved into the District
also must provide a house closing statement. Renters will need to
provide a signed and dated lease with proof of payment of rent,
either a cancelled check or receipt. State law requires an original
or certified copy of the birth certificate at the time of
registration. (A hospital birth announcement can not be accepted.)
A copy of your child’s social security card is also needed at the
time of registration. School personnel will be available to discuss
physical and immunization requirements as well as program
specifics. Your child does not need to attend registration. A
student orientation is planned for the summer.
We will also be scheduling appointments for Preschool/Kindergarten screening, scheduled for Wednesday, February 24 and Thursday, February 25, 2010. Kindergarten registration and screening assist us in making placement decisions for the following school year. It is important that we know who is enrolled in Kindergarten as soon as possible so that we can make the appropriate plans for hiring staff. Students who are enrolled just prior to the start of school can lead to overcrowded classrooms. If you have any questions, please call (815) 459-3023.
