Manassas City Public Schools Kindergarten Registration for 2015-16

Provided:

Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) will be accepting kindergarten registrations for the 2015-2016 school year from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in each of its elementary schools. Students who turn five on or before the last day of September 2015 are eligible to register for kindergarten. Parents should register their child at the school at which their child is assigned to attend. Attendance is determined by address. If a parent is unsure of their assigned elementary school, they may visithttp://edulogsql.mcpsva.org/liveweb/webquery/ or call one of the elementary schools for assistance.

During kindergarten registration, parents may also register for the New Experiences in School Transitions (N.E.S.T) program. N.E.S.T is a program that takes place at all five MCPS elementary schools for rising kindergarten students and their families to help make the transition from home to school. For three weeks before school starts, N.E.S.T exposes students and their families to daily school activities and routines, such as walking through the lunch line with their trays, bathroom breaks, group ‘carpet’ time, recess and basic safety procedures, including fire drills and tours of the nurse’s office, among many other routines that could be overwhelming to new students and their families. Participants also get to experience what a kindergarten classroom looks like, begin learning tasks and interact with their teacher as well as peers.
