District 135 Announces February Kindergarten Registration Dates

Orland School District 135 is welcoming parents for kindergarten registration on Tuesday, February 14; Wednesday, February 15; and Thursday, February 16 at the Administration Center located at 15100 South 94th Avenue in Orland Park. Registration takes about 15 minutes to complete, and can be done from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. Evening hours are offered on Wednesday only (5:00 - 7:00 p.m.). The child does not need to be present at the time of registration, but there are activities available should they be present.

The District notes that coming on the scheduled dates is extremely important; late registrants cannot be guaranteed placement at their home school. There are several documents parents must bring, which are used to establish custody, age and residency. A list of these documents can be found on the district website at www.orland135.org; visitors should click on the word "Registration" along the left side of the homepage.

The District 135 Registration Office would like parents to know two important items.
1) State law requires that the child must be five years old on or before September 1, 2012 to enroll in kindergarten for the 2012-13 school year.

2) Kindergarten is offered only as a half-day program. The A.M. session is from 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.; the P.M. session is from 11:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Registration questions can be directed to 708/364-3323.
