KINDERGARTEN 2008-09
January 16, 2008
Parents of children who will
be in kindergarten next fall of 2008 are asked to notify the
Claflin Elementary School as soon as possible. Principal Jane Oeser
is requesting notification by calling 620-587-3896. If your child
is already attending the four-year-old preschool you do not need to
contact the school. Claflin Elementary Secretary Stefanie Herter
will request several items of information including the child’s
name and birth date. According to state law, a child must be 5
years old by August 31, 2008, to be eligible for kindergarten for
the 2008-2009 school year.
The visitation will be Friday morning, May 2. Any
child who is not currently enrolled in our four-year-old preschool
program will have his/her vision, hearing, and speech checked this
morning. As Mrs. Temanson, the kindergarten teacher, works
with your child that morning she will be checking for school
readiness with the activities she has the children do. If she
has any questions about your child’s readiness she will contact you
after the visitation.
Parents are also reminded that enrollment in Kansas
schools for the first time requires a birth certificate and the
Kansas Certificate of Immunization Card. Securing a birth
certificate may take as long as six weeks; therefore, early
application is encouraged. Application forms are available at the
Claflin Elementary School Office.
