Registration is Friday for those students who will be attending Stuart kindergarten for the 2011-2012 school year. Students will need to turn 5 on or before Sept. 30, 2011. A free tote bag full of school supplies will be given to those who attend. Supplies were donated by Bender Realty, one of Stuart’s BEST. partners. Students who do not register on Friday will not receive a tote. Parents need to bring a utility bill (proof of address), your child’s birth certificate, immunization and physical record, Social Security card, and birth certificate. A copy machine will be available. Registration is in the Stuart School cafeteria from 1 to 3 on Friday. Please do not bring children with you if at all possible. Information on Stuart kindergarten will be handed out at this meeting.

Children must be 5 years of age on or before Sept. 30 to be eligible for kindergarten registration.
For registration, parents must bring a birth certificate or record of birth from a hospital, child’s social security card, recent physical (since Jan. 1) record, and proof of residency (rent receipt, utility bill, etc.)
Before entering school in August, the child must have an official birth certificate, a recent medical examination, and all immunizations recorded on the Tennessee Permanent Immunization Record.
These immunizations should included two MMRs, three hepatitis B, five DPT, four polio, two hepatitis A (effective July 2011), and two chicken pox vaccination. If the child has had chicken pox, you will need a letter verified by his/her along with the dates the child was affected.
Parents must register their child for kindergarten Friday for the child to have a place in the local zoned school.
It is not necessary to bring the child with you to kindergarten registration. If there are questions, call the elementary school where you are zoned.
