Kindergarten Registration for Fall 2015 Starts Soon!

Planning for the 2015-2016 kindergarten program is now under way, according to the Manchester Community School District. Families of children who will be five years old on or before September 1, 2015 are encouraged to attend one of the MCS registration events. Both events are for families who live in the Manchester Community School District, or any families living in Washtenaw County or counties that border Washtenaw County who would like their children to attend the Manchester Schools as a school of choice.

A parent information night is scheduled for Tuesday, March 9, 2015 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. At the parent information night, Principal Jennifer Mayes will introduce parents and guardians to the Kindergarten curriculum, give a small presentation on the “typical” kindergarten day, and discuss the registration process. Special literature on school readiness will also be available. This event will take place in the Klager Elementary School Cafeteria, 405 Ann Arbor Street, Manchester.

A registration celebration is scheduled for Tuesday, April 27, 2015 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. At this family event, you may register your upcoming kindergarten student. You should be prepared to bring your child’s birth certificate, immunization records and proof of residency. Building tours, bus rides, kindergarten classrooms, food service, Motor Moms and Dads, Klager Kids Klub and Klager PTO will be available to explore or answer any questions. This event will also take place in the Klager Elementary School Cafeteria, 405 Ann Arbor Street, Manchester.

Registration packets will be available for pick up beginning on March 9, 2015 at the Klager Elementary School Office during normal school hours, 7:45 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. For additional information contact Klager School at 734-428-8321.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
