April Pre-K and Kindergarten Registration

/by
Vance County Schools are offering parents a variety of opportunities to register their children for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes for the 2016-2017 school year.

Children who will be four years old on or before August 31, 2016, may apply for pre-kindergarten and children who will be five years old on or before the same date should register for kindergarten for next year.

For the convenience of parents, the school system will announce soon public locations for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration for next school year.

In addition, special registration events will be held at each elementary school in April. At each school, the registration sessions will be from 1 to 6 p.m. in a central location of the school. Parents who come to register their child or children are asked to bring: proof of the child’s age (birth certificate, medical record, baptismal record); immunization record; proof of Social Security number (Social Security card, official records); and proof of residence (utility bill, rental lease or mortgage statement). Parents who don’t have these documents can still begin the registration process.

The schedule for the special pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration events at the elementary schools includes:
  • Aycock Elementary: Tuesday, April 12
  • Carver Elementary: Monday, April 11
  • Clarke Elementary: Tuesday, April 12
  • Dabney Elementary: Wednesday, April 13
  • E.M. Rollins Elementary: Thursday, April 14
  • E.O. Young Jr. Elementary: Monday, April 11
  • L.B. Yancey Elementary: Tuesday, April 12
  • New Hope Elementary: Wednesday, April 13
  • Pinkston Street Elementary: Thursday, April 14
  • Zeb Vance Elementary: Monday, April 11

Parents also may go to the school located in the district where they live and register their children for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten at any time. All parents are urged to register their children as early as possible.
