Mansfield City Schools’ kindergarten registration for the 2015-16 school year is scheduled Feb. 3 through Feb. 12. Children must be 5 years old by Sept. 30.
Parents or legal guardians must register children for kindergarten at the elementary school where the child will attend. Anyone unsure of their home school may call 419-525-6400, ext. 56440 for assistance.
The following documents will be required at registration: child’s birth certificate, immunization record, Social Security number, copy of custody papers if applicable and proof of residency (U.S. mail, utility bill or rental agreement).
Registration dates and times are:
-- Tuesday, Feb. 3 – 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. during parent-teacher conferences.
-- Wednesday, Feb. 4 – 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
-- Thursday, Feb. 5 – 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
-- Tuesday, Feb. 10 – 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
-- Wednesday, Feb. 11 – 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
-- Thursday, Feb. 12 – 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and 4:30-7:30 p.m. during parent-teacher conferences.
Because activity in school offices can be especially hectic between noon and 1 p.m., those on tight schedules may want to consider another time.
Kindergarten screening will occur in the fall after school begins. Screening will include vision, hearing, speech and communication, medical problems and any developmental disorders. Screening will not affect a child’s eligibility to enter kindergarten.
