County Schools to Host Kindergarten Round Ups

Hillsborough County Public Schools will hold a Kindergarten Round Up period for the 2013-14 school year from Jan. 28 to Feb. 8.

Families interested in enrolling their child in their assigned attendance area school should attend the Kindergarten Round Up event scheduled for that school.

Kindergarten Round Up allows parents to learn about the school and become acquainted with the campus, and offers the student a first-hand look at kindergarten life.

Parents who attend are encouraged to bring birth date, health and home address documentation to register their child for kindergarten.

Parents unable to attend the round up are encouraged to enroll their child by the end of June 2013.

Parents who would like to research their kindergarten options may visit various round ups and apply for School Choice or a magnet school.

The Hillsborough Choice application period for elementary schools closes Feb. 14. Hillsborough Choice applications are available online for download at http://choice.mysdhc.org.

For a detailed list of Kindergarten Round Ups and a list of accepted documentation for enrollment, parents should visit the district website at www.sdhc.k12.fl.us and see the “Kindergarten Round Up” section.
