It’s Kindergarten Registration time!
Do you know a child that will be 5 years old by August 31, 2019? If so, it’s time to register for Kindergarten!
Granville County Public Schools is excited to welcome new kindergarteners to our district. Though the new school year doesn’t begin for a few more months, now is the time to register your child and to get excited about school! We have three easy ways to register:
Visit your neighborhood GCPS school
Attend a GCPS Kindergarten Registration Fair:
- February 12th – West Oxford Elementary from 7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- February 19th – Mt. Energy Elementary from 7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Visit one of the GCPS Registration Centers:
- Northern Granville Middle School (3144 Webb School Rd, Oxford, NC 27565)
- Energy Elementary School (2652 NC-56, Creedmoor, NC 27522)
At registration, you will be asked to complete enrollment forms for your child. Please bring personal identification, proof of residency, the child’s birth certificate, and any immunization records currently available.
Families have a choice in where their child attends school in GCPS.
- Would your child benefit from attending school on the year-round calendar, enjoying a 3-week break after every 9 weeks of school?
- Would you like your child to participate in:
- a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) program?
- a Leadership program?
- a Character Education program?
- an Arts program?
- a Healthy Living program?
- a Global Studies program?
- Would your child benefit from a blended learning schedule, learning with others at school part of the week and learning at home part of the week?
All of these options are available in Granville County Public Schools. School tours are available if you would like to see these programs in action and learn more about them.
