Johnsburg School District 12 will hold registration for all children who are three, four or five years of age, and who have not yet entered kindergarten. It will take place at Ringwood School Primary Center on Tuesday, March 6th and Wednesday, March 7th, according to the following schedule:

Tuesday, March 6, 2012
1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.
5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

Wednesday, March 7, 2012
9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.
1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.

This registration applies to all preschool children ages three through five, even if the child has registered and been screened in previous years. This process allows parents and staff to document each child’s growth development.

School officials are hopeful that all parents of children who are three, four and five years of age will register during these days. Under this new format, parents will complete their children’s developmental history and diagnostic screenings will be scheduled for all children. Also, an accurate registration is necessary to plan an educationally sound kindergarten.

Appointments for the diagnostic screening of speech and language skills, cognitive skills and motor skills, as well as, the hearing and vision screening (set for June) will be made at this time.

An official Birth Certificate from the county is necessary for the registration of a child entering kindergarten in the fall. Parents should bring the certificate to the registration.

Proof of residency also must be provided. Forms of proof include tax bills or utility bills.

We ask that children not attend the registration. Prospective kindergartners must be five years of age by September 1st in order to begin school.

If you have any questions, please call Ringwood School Primary Center at (815) 728-0459.
