Akron and Mentone elementary schools will host kindergarten roundup events at 6:30 p.m. March 19 for parents or guardians wanting to enroll their child for the 2018-19 school year. 

Attendees will learn about the expectations of kindergarten, meet teachers and school staff members, tour each school, and discuss the variety of programs offered along with the subjects their child will be taught.

School nurses will be on hand to discuss the state-required vaccines and other medical-related documents a student needs to have on file at the start of school year. Parents planning to attend either kindergarten roundup event should bring their child’s birth certificate and immunization records.

Free child care will be provided at both events. An interpreter will also be available at Akron Elementary School for parents and children who primarily speak Spanish.

Children 5 five years of age on or before Aug. 1 are eligible to attend kindergarten.
