Registration

Children registering for Kindergarten for the 2010-11 school year must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2010.

If a student is enrolling for the first time in a public or private school, Minnesota State Law mandates that the parents or legal guardians must provide an original birth certificate at the time of registration.

Immunization records are needed before your child may attend school. Minnesota makes schools responsible for enforcing the immunization laws. Health forms are included in the registration packet. Registration packets are available in the school office (651-644-3380) or can be mailed to you on request.

Registration Forms

Your child's registration is considered complete when we have the following information from you:

____ Family Registration Contract with non-refundable registration fee*
____ Registration Form
____ Original Birth Certificate
____ Immunization Records

* The non-refundable registration fee is per family.

School Bus Service

School bus service is provided by the Public School District for those children that reside within Saint Mark's parish boundaries and who live a mile or more from school. If you think you may qualify for busing, please check with Cherry in the school office. It is very important that you have your name submitted by May 15 to verify eligibility so that scheduling and bus service can begin smoothly in the Fall. Bus schedules will be available on "Meet Your Teacher/Visit Your Classroom" Day in late August.

Looking Ahead to September

Kindergartners do wear uniforms. Please see your handbook for details.
