KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION AT HAL HENDERSON

Kindergarten registration is underway and going well. We were very excited about Allison Edwards and Brenda Stockdale of Eastside Headstart bringing six sweet children to tour Hal Henderson and meet the kindergarten teachers. The children were well behaved and seemed very excited to be coming to our school in the Fall. Packets are given to parents that include a registration form, media release form, home language survey, health history form, school parent compact, Hal Henderson brochure, and Kindergarten Readiness information for parents.

On April 19, 2007, Westside Headstart came for a visit and tour. We were very proud to see approximately twelve parents and children on that day. Mrs. Sims, Reading Specialist, met with the parents and students giving them information regarding our school and readiness activities for home. The same packets were given out on this day as well.

The transition from Headstart to Kindergarten is an exciting and scary moment for five and six year olds. Parents are usually both excited and sad for their "little ones".

Parents will need the following documents to register kindergarten students:

1. Alabama Blue Slip (shot record)

2. Social Security Card

3. Birth Certificate

4. Proof of Residence

If you were unable to register on today's date, please make arrangements to register between April 26 and May 25, 2007. Should you have questions, please contact the school.
