Staff Report
St. Mary Parish Public Schools will begin registration March 23-24 for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first-grade students at area schools, St. Mary Parish Schools Superintendent Donald Aguillard said in a news release.
Under guidelines set by the Louisiana Department of Education, all pre-kindergarten students must be 4 years old, and all kindergarten students must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 30, 2015, for the 2015-16 school session. Any student entering first grade in the fall and not currently enrolled in a public school kindergarten should register on the designated registration days.
Registration for elementary schools in St. Mary Parish will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. March 23 and March 24. Because of the large number of students at Hattie Watts Elementary, pre-kindergarten registration will be held March 23 and kindergarten registration will be held March 24, the release stated.
Parents and guardians are asked to attend registration at the school in their attendance zone.
When registration is complete, the pre-kindergarten teachers at each school site will contact parents of potential pre-kindergarten students to set up screening tests. These tests are required for admittance to St. Mary Parish pre-kindergarten classes.
Parents are asked to bring the following information on the day of registration: birth certificate, updated immunization record, Social Security card, allergy information, proof of residency and proof of income (pre-kindergarten students only).
Anyone needing additional information can contact Elizabeth Theriot at the Central Office Complex in Centerville at 337-836-9661.
