Kindergarten Registration Information

The Big Day Is Getting Close for Your Child’s First Day of School!

We have some dates that are important to getting you and your child off to a great start.

Nine Mile Falls Elementary School

Kindergarten Registration: Now through May 7th.
Please stop by the school office and pick up your registration packet. It contains registration forms, important dates, and information that will help prepare your child for classroom success. Completed registration forms will be accepted during this time. Early registration is encouraged so the children can attend their Visitation Day.

Kindergarten Visitation Day: Wednesday, May 7th ~ 10:30-12:00
This is a day for the kids to come and visit Nine Mile! Drop your child off at 10:30, have a relaxing cup of coffee, and pick them up at 12:00. This time will give your child the chance to get to know the teacher, and become familiar with the classroom and what we do. They will also take a little ride in the school bus, so they know what to expect when school starts. Parents do not stay.

Parent Night: Wednesday, May 7th ~ 6:30-7:30 pm
This is an important night for parents. Mrs. Murphy will go over the kindergarten expectations, readiness issues, and the daily schedule.
