"Register for Kindergarten by June"
Is your child going to be 5 years old by September 1st? Sign up for kindergarten by June 1st!
If your child will be 5 years old by September 1st, he or she can start kindergarten this fall. Register at your neighborhood
school by June 1st to give your child a good start, connect to summer activities, and get access to free resources. School
offices close for the summer, so don’t wait! When you register by June 1st, you have time to get to know your school and your
teacher, and they have time to prepare the classroom for your child. To identify your school, call 2-1-1 or email
children@211info.org. Help in many languages is available.
You will need the following documents to register your child for Kindergarten:
•
•
•
Proof of age – a birth certificate or similar document will work.
Proof of address – Gresham-Barlow requires two or more documents such as utility bills or other bills mailed to the
home address. These must be recent, and the name on the bill must be of a parent or guardian of the student.
Immunization records – Oregon requires all children in public school to have immunizations prior to enrollment. Your
child’s doctor can provide a list of immunizations your child has received.
FREE Breakfast/Lunch Program:
Great news for you and your students!
Please be courteous to our neighbors!
If you are driving to school or walking in the
neighborhood, please respect the mailboxes,
driveways and properties around the school. If a
neighbor is trying to pull out of their driveway,
let them out. If you need to turn around, please
go around the block rather than using driveways.
Please do not park in a neighbor’s driveway to
pick up your student (this is private property).
Thank you for your help in being a good neighbor!
We are excited to announce that our school will qualify
again for CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) for the
2015-2016 school year (all students eat at no charge).
What does this mean for you and your children?
Elementary students are eligible to receive a healthy
breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your
household each day of the 2015-2016 school year. No
further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be
able to participate in these meal programs without having
to pay a fee or submit an application.
**Students who are transitioning to middle school will need
to complete a Free and Reduced application. These forms
will be available during registration, as well as at our
district website.
