Hutchinson Public Schools will have its pre-registration for kindergarten and the 4-year-old at-risk program from 4 to 7 p-m, on April 3 at the Salthawk Activity Center.

This program replaces the traditional kindergarten roundups in the district.

Parents are asked to bring their child’s record of immunizations, physical and birth certificate to the event.

Families need to bring proof of residence for the child’s legal guardian. Legal proof includes a recent utility bill or payroll stub showing an address.

Staff from the elementary schools will be on hand during the come-and-go event to answer questions and to get pre-enrollment information. Families who participate in the pre-enrollment will receive enrollment information for their child in July.

All children who will be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31, 2012, are eligible to enroll in kindergarten in Hutchinson Public Schools for the 2012-13 school year.

Enrollees in the 4-year-old program must be 4 on or before Aug. 31, 2012.

Students are enrolled for kindergarten in their neighborhood school. The 4-year-old at-risk program, meanwhile, is offered at select schools in the district.
