PK/K Enrollment…

Online registration for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten for the 2021-2022 school year is now available. To be eligible, children must be five years of age on or before December 1, 2021.

The online registration will include a place for parents to indicate their pre-kindergarten or kindergarten placement preference. Pre-kindergarten elementary school locations will be determined prior to the start of the school year.

If your child is a current HPS pre-kindergarten student you do not need to submit the registration or documents listed below. Later this spring, you will receive a re-registration link to update your child’s information. In early March you will receive a link to a kindergarten screener from your building principal.

When you are completing the online enrollment, you will be required to upload the following documents:

• Original birth certificate with raised seal
• Photo ID of parent or guardian registering student
• Proof of residency (i.e. utility bill, tax statement, house buy/sell agreement, lease agreement)
• Immunization Record (feel free to submit this with the Health Appraisal prior to August 13 –  more details below)

These items can be submitted in one of the following file formats: DOC, DOCX, PDF, TXT, RTF, XLS, XLSX, BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG

Please note that you are able to start the online enrollment and return to complete it at a later time. Please do not submit your registration until the above forms are uploaded. Once you finalize and submit the enrollment you will not be able to go back to make changes. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are not currently allowing visitors into our elementary buildings. If you are unable to attach these documents at the time of enrollment, you will receive further communication regarding alternative options.

Another item that is required for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration is the Health Appraisal Form with proof of vision/hearing testing. This form can be downloaded during the online registration process and is due by August 13, 2021. The health appraisal form can be dropped off or mailed to our administration offices:

2021-2022 Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten Online Registration Form

The screener will be completed by each parent and assist principals with final placement details to build the best learning environment for all of our learners.

**This MUST be completed prior to your child being placed in a pre-kindergarten or kindergarten classroom for the 2021-2022 school year.

Good Morning Georgetown Families,

I would like to send out a huge thank you to all of our families for their support and efforts as we moved to remote learning over the past three weeks!  Teaching and learning remotely comes with many challenges, obstacles, and emotions felt by all involved.  We couldn’t have made this work without the support and partnership of all of you.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything that you did and continue to do in order to help us climb the mountain that is the 2020-21 school year.  I also want to thank our teachers and staff for all that they did to prepare for and execute remote learning.  The staff worked to prepare and distribute devices, created and recorded lessons, reached out to our families to stay connected, and provided support at all hours of the day.  Everyone helped to launch our remote learning initiative and help make it run as smoothly as possible!! Finally, I would need to convey how proud I am of our students for their grit, positive attitudes, and resiliency as we dove into remote learning!  We truly are lucky to have such a great community that comes together to support our students!

I’m hoping you had some time to read and digest Dr. VanderJagt’s email about our return to in-person learning on Wednesday, December 9th.  We are so excited to welcome back our students and finish out the 2020 year with them at Georgetown! Our hallways have definitely been quiet these past few weeks and it will be awesome to have the kids back in the building.  Please know that this is still contingent on the MDHHS order from the state.  We are closely monitoring this and will keep you posted if anything changes.  

Below is the latest information for what you need to know as we transition from remote learning back to in-person learning on Wednesday, December 9th.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions that you may have so we can ensure a smooth transition back to in-person learning for you and your child.  

Many thanks and gratitude to all of you during this trying year!

~Randy
