• Kindergarten Enrollment Information PDF

Hello Putnam County! 

We are starting Kindergarten Enrollment in March! Enrollment is MANDATORY for Kindergarten students enrolling for the 2022-2023 school year. Enrollment for Kindergarten will be SATURDAY, March 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Your child must be 5 before August 1, 2022, to be eligible for Kindergarten. 

Please EMAIL Mrs. Kellyn Robinson to schedule times for your child to attend this screening. Please include the following in your email:

• Your name and a working phone number (it is important we have a contact number)
• Child’s name, gender, and date of birth
• Indicate if your child is currently in daycare or a preschool program
• Top three times you prefer (Scheduled in hour increments)
• An easy way to get you the enrollment packet to be filled out PRIOR to screenings

Mrs. Robinson can be reached at krobinson@putnamcountyr1.net. If you are unable to email please feel free to call 660-947-3361 ext. 333. You may need to leave a voicemail, but calls and emails will be responded to within 24 hours Monday-Friday (weekends will vary). If you do not hear back, please reach out again to make sure the email/call went through. These spots usually fill up quickly so do not hesitate to email or call and make your appointment now! 

What you need to bring on the day of screenings:

• Child’s birth certificate           
• Proof of residency (i.e. Rental Contract, Real Estate Contract signed by all parties, Utilities Bill/Deposit Receipt, payroll check, driver’s license, W-4 employment documents, or post-marked envelope received in the mail with your name and address on it).
• Child’s immunization records
• Emergency contact numbers

Copies of all of these items listed above will be made upon your arrival. Paperwork will also need to be completed for enrollment. To help speed up the process arrangements will be made to have our paperwork given to you BEFORE the screening so it can be completed at home. 

The school nurse will do a vision screening and will also look at your child’s immunization records and let you know if there is anything they will need prior to starting school.  After having their vision tested your child will then be given the DIAL-4.  The total screening takes approximately an hour.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
Thanks again for the pleasure of working with your children. We love what we do and are so thankful to work in this community and school district.
