Early Registration Begins Soon For Kindergarten

BENTONVILLE — Parents in the Bentonville School District with a child who will be 5 by Aug. 1 may register online for kindergarten for the 2014-15 school year. The early registration period ends at 3 p.m. Friday.

Parents can visit bentonvillek12.org/preregistration to register early.

Students will not be considered enrolled until parents provide certain items of information to the student’s assigned school. Those items include proof of residency, such as a current real-estate property tax receipt, utility bill or lease agreement; a copy of the child’s birth certificate; a copy of the child’s Social Security card; a complete immunization record and proof of a physical examination of the child from within the past 24 months.

Kindergarten sections in R.E. Baker and Elm Tree elementary schools, which follow the nontraditional calendar, are limited. Registration for nontraditional schools doesn’t guarantee a student placement in those schools.

Anyone wishing to waive kindergarten enrollment for the 2014-15 school year may complete and submit a kindergarten waiver, which is available online at bentonvillek12.org. Click on the “Kindergarten Enrollment Information” link under “News” on the home page.
