District 5: 4K Registration Begins in March

Lexington-Richland 5 will begin the registration process for enrolling four year olds in Child Development for the 2012-13 school year beginning March 5.  Registration will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day.

Potential Child Development students must be age 4 on or before Sept. 1, 2012.  Parents of children meeting this eligibility deadline should bring the following to their zoned elementary school:

• Your child's legal birth certificate
• A current South Carolina Certificate of Immunization, or a South Carolina Certificate of Medical or Religious Exemption
• A property tax receipt or a rental lease showing all occupants
• Two utility bills showing your correct home address

You will complete an application and parent questionnaire and will schedule your child’s screening date and time that will occur in either May or July/Early August 2012.

This program serves identified four-year-old children from throughout the district and stresses basic school readiness skills. There are requirements that must be met (“at-risk” factors, home visits and attendance) in order to qualify for the program.  Parents should be aware that a request for screening does not constitute acceptance into the program.

For more information, contact Barbara Coker, administrative assistant at 803-476-8240 or Helen Anderson, chief instructional officer at 803-476-8169.
