News & Notes from Mrs. Kapuchuck
Dear Families,
Pre-K and Kindergarten Registration
MVES will have Pre-K and Kindergarten Registrations on the following two days in March:
Monday, March 9, 2020 -- from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Tuesday, March 10, 2020 -- from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
WE WILL NOT START ANY REGISTRATION UNTIL ALL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATIONS:
Registration for Kindergarten will be completed on-line at the school. If your child was in our Pre-K program all information is still needed to update our records.
To be eligible for next year's Kindergarten enrollment, a student must be FIVE (5) YEARS OLD on or before September 30, 2020. No exceptions are granted for this age deadline.
Parents of eligible Kindergarten students must bring the child's Birth Certificate and a recent official document showing Proof of Residence in the MVES school district (Mortgage or lease agreement, utility bill, tax form, etc.). Addresses with P.O. Boxes are not accepted.
A school physical must be provided prior to starting school and has to be dated within 12 months of starting school. Pre-K students currently at MVES still need to have a physical done prior to starting Kindergarten.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN APPLICATION:
Application for Pre-Kindergarten will be completed on-line at the school.
If the Pre-K child is eligible for a Pre-K screening, an appointment will be scheduled for another day later in March. To be eligible for next year's Pre-Kindergarten consideration at MVES, a student must be FOUR (4) YEARS OLD on or before September 30, 2020. No exceptions are granted for this age deadline.
Parents of eligible Pre-Kindergarten students must bring the child's Birth Certificate and a recent document showing Proof of Residence in the MVES school district (Mortgage or lease agreement, utility bill, tax form, etc.). Addresses with P.O. Boxes are not accepted.
In addition, Proof of Household Income Documents (pay stub, W-2, Tax Returns, etc) need to be provided for all adults living in the home reflecting income that supports the Pre-Kindergarten child. Pre-K Screenings cannot take place until these required income documents are submitted.
Admission into Pre-Kindergarten at MVES requires an interview with the child's parents or guardians and a developmental screening from a Pre-K teacher. Parents or guardians of Pre-K children are notified before the end of this current school year whether their child is admitted into Pre-Kindergarten or will be listed on a Waiting List for possible admission at a later time.
A pre-school physical must be provided prior to starting school and has to be dated within 12 months of starting school.

Upcoming Musical Performance
Dear Parents,
All students in 4th and 5th grade will be performing in a Fine Arts/Musical Performance showcase. We are so excited to share our hard work from Art and Music class! All students in grades 4 and 5 will participate in a class musical performance and all students will also have art in the Art Show. The students have been practicing as an ensemble so it is important that everyone attends both performances so that all the parts of the song(s) we have been practicing are there.

THE FLU
Flu season is officially here at MVES. Over the past few weeks, we have had an increase in illness and confirmed cases of the flu. Here at school, we are encouraging frequent hand washing and our custodians are working hard to keep all spaces sanitized. As always, your child should stay home from school if he/she has a fever greater than 100 degrees F and should not return to school until he/she has been fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medicine for at least 24 hours. See the flu guides attached.
Please, as always, call the school or send an email to mvesattendance@rockingham.k12.va.us if your child will be absent from school.
Thank you so much for all of your help in keeping our students healthy! Please feel free to contact Leslie Kapuchuck and/or Nurse Wanda if you have any questions at 540-438-1965.
