school on either May 21 or May 22 from 3:30-6:30.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Before you bring your child to register, please make note of the following:
1. Age Requirement: A child must be five (5) years old by September 30, 2012 in order to attend
this coming year.
2. Required Screening: The Family Resource Center is now scheduling appointments for the kindergarten
screening process. Please call 397-4466 immediately if your child has not been screened. Kindergarten is
mandatory in Tennessee: All children must have a kindergarten experience prior to entry into first grade.
3. Birth Certificate: A certified copy of the birth certificate must be presented to the school prior to the
child’s entrance into kindergarten. (Contact the local health Department @ 397-3930 if you need help getting
a certified copy of your child’s birth certificate.)
4. Health Examination: Each child must show evidence of a physical exam. The exam must have taken
place no longer than 6 months prior to entry.
5. Immunization Record: Each child must have at least the following immunizations: diphtheria, measles
(rubeola), pertussis (whooping cough), poliomyelitis, rubella, mumps, hepatitis A and B, tetanus, varicella,
and pneumococcal on the form prescribed by the Commissioner (unless otherwise exempted by law) prior
to admitting a child. Your own doctor, health provider or the Department of Health Office in Dandridge
(Ph 397-3930) can provide you with the proper Tennessee Immunization Card.
6. Proof of Residency Documentation.
