Hosp 4th Grade Newsletter
Welcome! Thanks for visiting our site!
Important
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION!
Who: Parents of students who live in Frisco ISD and will be five years of age or older on or before September 1st
When: April 1-5, 9AM-2PM (extended hours will be on Tuesday, April 2nd until 7PM)
Why is this important to do now?
1. The early registration process gives parents information to ease the transition into kindergarten! Already at ease about the kinder thing? Then....
2. Registering early helps the district plan for ENROLLMENT growth and STAFFING needs. (knowing enrollment early puts our awesome kinder teachers at ease)
3. I also love to work at Kinder Transition Night in May, so I can meet all the upcoming Hosp learners! - So early registration means I will get to meet them!
Please take advantage of this opportunity to register your child! If you have a neighbor with a child coming to kindergarten next year, please share the information with them.
