Sumer 2011

It's that time again for summer break, and I couldn't be happier :) I just wanted to give some updates on the FRC, for the summer months. Our center will be closed June 10 - July 27.

There will NOT be any Parenting Classes for the month of July. Classes will start back in August. The dates for August are as follows: August 9, 10, 11 from 9 - 10:30 at the Board of Education. If your court ordered to take the classes, then you will need to attend ALL class dates. At the completion of course you will receive a class certificate, and class hours.

If you need to get in touch with the family resource center, then please feel free to e-mail me @ lacey@monroek12.org I hope that everyone has a great summer break, and is refreshed for the upcoming 2011 -2012 school year!!!

2011 Kindergarten Registration

I want to thank everyone that helped, with Monroe County Schools 2011 Kindergarten Registration. We had over 420 students enroll for our Pre- K and Kindergarten classes. Parents we look forward to getting to know your child better, and I'm certain they will be an excellent addition to our schools!!!

If you weren't able to register, then there are NO worries!!! Please just contact the county school your child will be attending, so they can expect their arrival. I've also enclosed some pictures on this post of Monroe County's newest school additions.

March 2011

This month is an exciting month for the Family Resource Center, and that's due to Kindergarten Registration. If your child will be enrolling in a Monroe County school for the 2011-2012 school year, then I want to take this time to welcome you. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new kindergarten students and hope that you share the same excitement. It's our goal for your child to have educational excellence and a joyous learning experience. Children who will be five years old on or before September 30, 2011 will be registering for kindergarten for the 2011-2012 school year. However, children are not required to start kindergarten in Tennessee until they have reached age 6.

Parents who will be enrolling their child in kindergarten for the upcoming school year will need to bring their child to the school they will be attending on the dates listed below. If for some reason it is impossible to register at a particular school, parents should take their child to another school to registration and arrangements will be made to transfer those records to the appropriate school. If you are unable to attend any of these registrations, then please call the principal of the school your child will be attending and submit your child's name for attendance in the fall.

Here is a list of the following things that you will need to bring with you to registration: A certified birth certificate and a social security card are needed for school entrance and should be present at the time of registration. A Tennessee Certificate of birth can be obtained at the Monroe County Health Department Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Before your child may start school in the fall, a school physical and a Tennessee Certificate of Immunizations will be required. Check with your Health Care Provider for immunization requirements.

The dates, times, and locations for Kindergarten and Pre-K registration are:

Madisonville Primary - Monday - March 21 ~ 8:30 - 2:00
