Kindergarten Registration Information for the 2010-11 School Year

Dear TRE Parents,

I put the following in my March Issue of our Tiger Tales newsletter but also wanted to put it on our website blog as another way of accessing this important information.

Bedford Public Schools Kindergarten registration opened Tuesday, February 16th at all elementary schools and the Office of Instruction and Student Services at 1623 W. Sterns Road Temperance Michigan. Registrations will also be accepted at the BBA Trade Fair March 6th and 7th in room B-8 at Bedford High School. The Trade Fair is a great way to introduce your children to the kindergarten teachers and principals from around the district. Bedford schools will have a special T-Shirt to welcome your young one at the Trade Fair so please plan to stop in and visit.

When you come in to register at school or the trade fair we will have a packet of important information that will describe the kindergarten options and will also include all the paperwork necessary to complete the registration process.

Registration Hours are:
Temperance Road Elementary 7:30 - 3:30
Administration Building 7:30 - 4:00

Documents Required for Registration:
1. Proof of Residency
• Valid Michigan Driver’s License with Bedford address
• Additional proof with same address of utility bill (not cell phone), tax bill, rental/lease contract

2. Certified Birth Certificate (copies or hospital record not valid)

3. Immunization Records

4. Hearing and Vision Screening before September 7, 2010 (available from Health Department and in the District) dates to be announced
5. Custody papers if not living with both parents

For questions you call the elementary office or Instruction and Student Services at 850-6028 or just ask to speak with me or Mrs. Krell in the front office. For those parents new to TRE I would be more than happy to give you a tour of the building and while on the tour we can also stop in to see one of our kindergarten classrooms. I also like to do the same thing for any kindergarten students during the last two weeks of August as I know students start to get anxious about coming to school. We want to make you and your students feel at home and excited about being a TRE Tiger!

Sincerely,
Bob Harris
Principal
