CONGRATULATIONS SUPERINTENDENT GRUMLEY
Congratulations Superintendent Grumley!
Kindergarten Enrollment is OPEN
Traditionally, parents and guardians are asked to complete the online portion and then finalize the registration process with an in-person follow-up meeting to provide supporting documentation. This year, families are encouraged to upload all of their supporting documentation via the online portal. School secretaries will contact registered families to follow up regarding their prospective kindergarten student.
Schools may also hold in-person kindergarten meet-and-greets once the physical distancing requirements are lifted. Individual schools will be reaching out with information if and when these dates are secured.
Important information to know prior to beginning the registration process:
· All kindergarten slots are full-time unless part-time is requested;
· Children must be five by October 1, 2020 to be enrolled in Kindergarten for the 2020-2021 school year;
· When registering for Kindergarten, parents should have the child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residence documents - this may include a utility bill, driver’s license, rental/lease agreement or property tax statement. Photos of these documents can be taken and uploaded into the online portal;
· Children currently enrolled in a Garfield Re-2 Pre-school program do not need to register for Kindergarten.
· CMC Pre-School or any other pre-school should register online for their home attendance area school;
· All 2020-21 kindergarten students should be enrolled at their home attendance area school;
· Phones at the schools are still being monitored. If you need assistance enrolling in any Garfield Re-2 Kindergarten program, please contact your school directly and leave a message. Someone will get back with you shortly.

Activity fee refunds headed your way
If you believe you should have fees returned to you, and have not seen them within the week, please reach out to your school office and let them know so that we can investigate.
School lunch balances roll over to the next year, so these will NOT be refunded.

Vaping Info and tips to Talk with Your Teen About E-cigarettes
Stress and anxiety may be heightened during this time, which can trigger nicotine cravings for young people and adults. Also, many adults may be unprepared to have conversations about vaping. But being a trustable adult about topics like vaping can foster strong relationships that prevent unhealthy habits. To build or strengthen a strong foundation of support, adults can approach conversations about vaping with openness and curiosity. In conversations with your child about vaping, remember to:
- suspend judgment
- ask open-ended questions
- validate their perspectives
- listen with curiosity about why your child or their friends might be vaping
- affirm your child’s strengths
This tip sheet offers ideas for conversation starters if you need a little help
