Hamilton's kindergarten registration begins in January

Published on: 1/4/2014

Kindergarten registration for children who will attend the Hamilton School District in the 2014-15 school year is set to begin in January. There are several kindergarten options for 4- and 5-year-olds. An optional half-day program for 4-year-olds is available to children who turn four years old on or before Sept. 1, 2014. The district offers parents the option of choosing full- or half-day programming for children who will be five years old on or before Sept. 1, 2014.

Required at registration are the child's original birth certificate and immunization record. Proof of residency is required when the first child in a family registers in the district. Forms may be downloaded from the district Web site at www.hamilton.k12.wi.us/district/enrollment.

Also suggested is a list of emergency phone numbers and information if a child will be picked up or dropped off at a location other than home. Children are welcome to attend, but the child’s attendance is not necessary.
