Kindergarten Specific Information:

January 2022

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We would like to welcome your child to the class of 2035! We are looking forward to partnering with you as your child enters the Weston Public Schools.

We know that moving from a small preschool to kindergarten can be a big transition for some children and parents. Based on our years of experience, we have found most children adjust to such moves very easily. You will have opportunities to learn more about our school and program prior to next school year. By the end of April, we will send out an informational video so you can learn about our school and kindergarten program. In the meantime, our website offers general information about our school. https://westonps.org/schools/hurlbutt-elementary-school/. The challenges of the global pandemic have certainly resulted in changes to our transition program. However, over the last two years, we have continued to find creative ways to welcome in our new families and students.

Although it seems early for kindergarten registration, the information we collect through this process will help us to confirm the enrollment projections and to begin planning for the next school year.  The first step is to complete the online registration and follow the steps below.  You can submit the required documents to us by uploading them to the last page of the online registration before submitting the form. If you are unable to upload them, you can email them to our registrar, Laurie Eagle,  laurieeagle@westonps.org or drop off copies to our main entrance between the hours of 8:30 and 2:30 daily.

A completed registration packet includes the following:

• Completed Infosnap forms from the Hurlbutt website.  The link to the Hurlbutt “New Student Registration” is found by following this link:   https://westonps.org/district/student-registration/.
• Proof of residency:
• Warranty deed, AND
• Utility bill – telephone, gas or electric
• Copy of your child’s birth certificate
• Completed blue State of Connecticut Health Assessment Record (Connecticut State Law forbids any child from beginning school without updated health records and immunizations.)  This form must be completed by your doctor and on file in the nurse’s office before your child starts school.  This record should be up-to-date through the 5-year old checkup, unless your child turns five after school begins.  If this is the case, the Health Assessment Record should be completed through the four-year old checkup and updated ASAP after your child turns five.  Please check with your doctor to assure that your child has received all immunizations required by the State of Connecticut to begin kindergarten.  Keep a copy of the health form for your records. 
• We cannot complete the registration for your child without: 1. completed registration packet, 2. proof of residency, 3. birth certificate and, 4. health assessment record.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our kindergarten program.

5) GRADE 9 ORIENTATION
The Grade 9 Orientation Program is designed to assist in providing the foundation for a successful high school experience. Students, when aware of expectations, opportunities, and responsibilities tend to make good decisions in their lives, both in and out of the classroom. Desired outcomes of the orientation program are:

1. The student will know his/her counselor and recognize how, where, and when help is available.
2. The student will be able to recognize key individuals in the school and their roles, i.e. principal, assistant principal, school nurse, etc.
3. The student will think about himself/herself and make commitments regarding expectations he/she has for others as well as understanding the expectations others have for him/her.
4. The student will be aware of extracurricular activities available to him/her and will commit to membership in at least one.
5. The student will be comfortable with the upper class students and be encouraged to ask for help and direction.
6. The student will be aware of Weston’s policies and academic expectations: graduation requirements, four-year academic plan, academic records, etc.
7. The student will be aware of available opportunities and resources as well as the expectations for good citizenship in the Weston High School community.

Grade 9 students are required to attend scheduled orientation seminar sessions with their counselor and invited adult and student participators. A follow-up session will be scheduled at the end of the second marking period to update the four-year academic plan and make decisions regarding course selections for sophomore year.
