Student Enrollment Procedures
|
| Welcome! |
.
. . to McPherson. We are glad you are here and hope the move to
your new community will be a positive experience. Below are a few
things to know that may be helpful as you enroll in our schools.
If you have questions that we do not address, please contact any
school
or the central office.
|
| Elementary
Schools
|
The
district has four elementary schools. A student is expected to attend
the school for the area
in which he or she resides. Rural
areas outside the city limits have been assigned to one of the
schools. The superintendent's office staff can answer questions
about school location for a residence. Maps are available in all
school offices.
|
| Request
for Records
|
Records
must be requested from the student's previous school and mailed
to the new school of residence in McPherson. Our school office personnel
have forms
for you to complete to obtain records. Please specify on the information
request form to send evaluation information and a current IEP if
your child has been receiving special education services.
|
| Fees
|
The
district charges a basic textbook rental fee for students enrolling
in the schools. In addition, middle school and high school students
may be charged additional fees
for supplies in some specialty or elective courses.
|
| Health
Records
and Assessment
|
Your
child's immunization record is part of the permanent record and
should be transferred to the new school. In Kansas the record is
called the Kansas Certificate of Immunizations (KCI). The KCI form
is available from the McPherson County Health Office, 1001 N. Main.
Kansas Health Assessments are required for children enrolling who
are eight years of age or younger and enrolling in a Kansas school
for the first time.
|
| Enrollment
Days
|
The
district establishes specific dates in early August for school enrollment.
These dates can be obtained by reading the "Back to School" issue in the McPherson Sentinel
toward the end of July. If students are unable to enroll at these
times, contact should be made at the appropriate school building
office during regular business hours prior to the first day of school.
|
| Calendar
|
The
district publishes a calendar of activities each year. A copy of
this calendar is provided at school enrollment. The calendar has
information about school activities and events as well as district
policies and procedures. Copies are also available at the Central
Office, 514 North Main. A one
page calendar
is also available. |
