Transcription

1 Welcome to Kindergarten in the Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) If your child will be five (5) years old by September 30 this year, s/he is eligible to start kindergarten in ACPS in September We encourage you to complete the registration process as soon as possible. Families must first register their kindergarten child at their neighborhood school. However, if families speak a language other than English in their home or their child was born outside of the United States, please see the registration location below. Registration begins on March 16 and will continue daily from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at all schools for walk-ins. After 1 p.m., families should make an appointment to register their child. Schools will also offer extended hours on March 19, from 4 to 7 p.m. Individual schools may offer additional extended hours so please check with your neighborhood school. If you are not sure which school your child will attend, please use our online Attendance Zone Locator: Kindergarten Capacity at Your School ACPS uses a modified open enrollment policy to maintain small class sizes. If kindergarten classes are over-enrolled at a school by June 12 (or June 2 for Samuel Tucker), all students registered up to that date will be put in a lottery to determine which students will need to be transferred to another ACPS school. If all students enrolling by June 12 can be accommodated in the school, they will be enrolled in that school. Students registering after that date will be transferred to another school if classes are filled. (see: If a language other than English spoken in your home, or your child was born outside the United States, register your child for school at the Office of English Language Learner (ELL) Services. All families who may need assistance with English may also register at the ELL Office. The ELL Office is located in the ACPS Central Office at 1340 Braddock Place in Alexandria. Please call for more information. School Bus Transportation Students living more than a mile from their elementary schools will be provided bus transportation. If your kindergartner will be riding the school bus, ACPS requires an authorized adult to meet the child at his or her stop. Please complete the form enclosed as part of the registration process. Bus schedules and stops will be mailed to parents the week before the start of school. For more information on bus transportation, please call School Breakfast and Lunch Schools serve breakfast and lunch daily. Menus are planned by a registered dietitian with a focus on whole grains, fruits and vegetables and foods that are lower in fat. For the school year, elementary school prices are $1.75 for breakfast and $2.65 for lunch. Every child is assigned an account and money may be added to the account in three ways: by cash, check or prepaid online account. Please visit the ACPS School Nutrition website at for more information about these options. If your child has allergies, is on a gluten-free diet, or has other food requirements, we welcome you to review these with your school s cafeteria manager. Please call or food@acps.k12.va.us. Many students can qualify for free or reduced price meals based on their family s income. If you would like to see instantly whether your student qualifies for free meals, please visit after July 15. Then, complete the application in your back-to-school packets that will be sent home in August. Student Transfers The Alexandria City School Board establishes school attendance areas for each school. There are several regulations that define the procedures for administering student transfers. All students must be registered in their home schools before a request for an administrative transfer can be made. For more information on administrative transfers, please call or visit For more information:
