Kindergarten Registration
Children that turn 5 on or before August 31, 2012 should register for kindergarten ASAP at McIlvaine Early Childhood Center.  Families should bring the following documents to kindergarten registration:
•    Original copy of the child’s birth certificate
•    Picture identification of the parent / guardian
•    Proof of residency (mortgage, rental agreement, electric bill, or gas bill – we don’t accept phone bills or cable bills)
•    Health records, if available, should be brought to registration
•    A time will be scheduled for kindergarten screening when you contact the school about kindergarten registration (335-5039)

April Parent Party
McIlvaine ECC will host its next “parent party” on Thursday, April 19th from 6:00-7:30 pm.  Students and families will get to come to school that evening and participate in lots of fun science and social studies activities.  There will be lots of great door prizes to give away that night as well.  We hope to see you at the Home of the Littlest Riders on Thursday, April 19th.

Rider Pride Shoelaces
Has your child visited the office because they can tie their shoes?  If not, your child should continue to practice shoe tying everyday until they are successful.  We hope that they are ready to show their teacher and the principals that they know how to tie their shoes.  If they do, they will receive a pair of blue and gold “Rider Pride” shoelaces for their efforts.  Happy practicing!

Box tops, Campbell's Labels, and Caprisun Pouches
Don’t forget to remind your family, friends, and neighbors to collect Boxtops, Campbell’s labels, and Caprisun pouches for our school.  Boxtops and Campbell’s labels must be cut along the dotted line and show the expiration date.  Caprisun pouches need to be emptied of all juice and dried with a paper towel.  Please send these items to school with your child…the more we collect, the more we can do for our students.
