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.
Kindergarten Roundup
- April 16, 2020 from 6 -7:15 PM
Topics will include: bus safety, a school tour, a classroom
visit and getting to know Heath City Schools.
You will meet the Superintendent, Asst. Superintendent, Principal,
Director of Special Education, District Nurse, and Registration Secretary. During Kindergarten Roundup, you will have a
chance to schedule an appointment for registration.
Registration – April 9, 13,
27, 2020 8:40 AM – 2:40 PM
Schedule
your appointment date & time by contacting our district registrar at
740-238-7099. A list of required
documents will be provided at Roundup and is also available on the district
website at https://www.heath.k12.oh.us/Registration.aspx
Kindergarten Screening -
August 20 and 21
Screening appointments will be scheduled during your registration
appointment time. It is required for the
parent/guardian to stay with their child during the screening process, which
will be approximately 60 minutes. After
your child’s completion of his/her screening, a homeroom teacher will be
assigned.
Open House/Meet
the Teacher – August 21 5-6
PM
Staggered Start – August 24,
25 and 26
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
