Dear Parent/Guardian,

Welcome to Garfield Elementary School!  We are very excited to begin working with your child and hope the information in this letter will answer some questions you may have about the kindergarten registration process.

 

To register, go to: https://heath-oh.finalforms.com/ 

If you have any questions, please contact the district registration office at 740-238-7099. If you have applied for open enrollment, do not register on Final Forms until you have been approved for open enrollment.  

Kindergarten Roundup – March 6^th, 2024   6:00 -7:15 PM  

Topics will include: Getting to Know Heath City Schools, What is Kindergarten, and Bus Safety.   You will meet the Superintendent, Asst. Superintendent, Principal, Director of Special Education, District Nurse, Registration Secretary and the Kindergarten team.  

After registration in Final Forms is complete, a link from Signup Genius will be sent to your email and you will then be able to schedule your appointment time for the Clinic Health Screening.

 

You will receive an email with another link from Signup Genius to sign up for the Academic Kindergarten Screening.   It is required for the parent/guardian to stay with their child during the screening process, which will be approximately 30 minutes.   After your child’s completion of his/her screening, a homeroom teacher will be assigned.

Open House/Meet the Teacher (Kindergarten only) – August 16, 2024  5-6 PM           

 

*Your child will attend school only ONE of these three days.  Beginning school can be overwhelming for a kindergarten student.  To help make this transition as smooth as possible, we will be using a staggered start for our kindergarten students only.  With fewer students attending each day, your child’s teacher will be able to provide more personalized attention, clearly explain routines and complete assessments for a positive first day experience. 

 

We look forward to meeting you at our Kindergarten Roundup!

Your Partner in Education,

 

Jeff Hempleman, Principal
