If you have a new student enrolled for next year (Pre-K/Kindergarten) there are documents that are required by the state for us to have on file BEFORE school starts this fall. These documents require you to plan for in advance.
-
Green Health Form - This form was supplied in your enrollment packet if you have a new student this year. This requires planning ahead because it needs to be completed and signed by your doctor and also includes your child's immunization record. There are several vaccines that must be up-to-date BEFORE your child can attend the first day of school!
-
Vision and Hearing Screening - The State of Michigan requires each student entering school for the first time to have both a vision and hearing screening. Some doctor's offices will provide this service and they make note of it on the green health form. For those who are in need of screenings, the Ottawa County Health Department provides this service for FREE. Screenings are by appointment only. Please call (616) 396-5266 to schedule your child’s free screening today. The health department has informed us that these appointment time fill quickly, so don't delay in scheduling.
-
A copy of your child's Birth Certificate - If you don't already have a copy from the County Clerk's office, please plan ahead and order yours as soon as possible due to the processing time needed.
Again, these documents are required BEFORE school starts this fall. If you have questions regarding the items needed, please contact Sandy Brower in the school office.
