WHAT ELSE DO FAMILIES NEED TO KNOW? WHY SHOULD THEY REGISTER NOW?
From a parent's perspective, the earlier you register, the earlier you are connected to the school system to ensure communication from the school to support you child. You are able to start planning on what the day will look like for your child and you as a family. Examples such as preparining your child for school norms, after school care, setting up any appointments you may need to do for your child prior to school starting (dentist, doctor, immunizations). Sometimes the paperwork is best to complete over a couple of days so you can consider who will be your emergency contacts. The district can support needs you may have such as uniforms and supplies.
HOW WILL DISTRICT PROVIDE ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO THOSE PARENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE IT AT HOME?
We are working with families to support this process both for registration and if there is continued online learning. Reach out to us for support at 330-761-2810.
