Bright Local School District to hold kindergarten registration April 19-30

Bright Local School District is announcing their Kindergarten Registration process for 2010.  Parents/Guardians are requested to complete paperwork and to schedule a screening time.  A Kindergarten packet and scheduling can be completed on any school day from April 19th to April 30th between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM at the Bright Elementary School office.  Parents should bring driver’s license, proof of residence, the child’s birth certificate, shot record, social security card and custody papers (if necessary).   The child’s attendance is not required to fill out paperwork, however the child should attend the screening day on Friday, May 7, 2010. 

Bright Elementary is located at 6100 Fair Ridge Road.  The screening activities will take approximately one hour.

All children who are 5 years old on or before August 1, 2010 are eligible to register. 

All paperwork must be complete and on file before entering Kindergarten.  All children will be screened for hearing, vision, speech and communication, other health or medical problems and developmental disorders.  Fingerprinting and the Parent-Teacher Link will also be included in the registration.  Immunizations are available on screening day.  There is a $5.00 per shot fee or free if a child’s medical card is presented. 

Kindergarten is required by state law.  All children must successfully complete a state-approved Kindergarten program before being permitted to enter first grade. The staff at Bright Elementary is excited about this special time for the boys and girls who will enter Kindergarten next year.  The registration process is designed to help make the transition to school smooth and enjoyable for the children and their families.  Please call Bright Elementary (927-7010) if you have any questions.
