In January, the Tech Team released a new program titled Twisted Training. TCUSD3 staff members can earn badges for completing a variety of training programs and learn new skills at their own pace. For example, staff can earn a Chromebook Fundamentals badge for completing a training on the basics of using a Chromebook. This morning the Tech Team recognized the Badge Masters for the 3rd quarter with a Crumbl Cookie. These individuals earned the most badges in their respective buildings. Congratulations to Dawn Reiser, Emily Repscher, Jennifer Richardson, and Melissa Davidson!
North School is beginning the pre-registration process for incoming Kindergarten students for the 2024-25 school year. A child’s birth date determines whether or not they will attend kindergarten in the fall.
If the child turns 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2024, they are allowed to register for kindergarten for the next school year. There are times a parent chooses to keep their child in preschool.
Per ISBE, if a child turns 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2024, the district is not permitted to enroll them in the public preschool program (PREP). Therefore, the student would either attend a private preschool or register for kindergarten.
All incoming kindergarten students must have a physical, proof of vaccinations, a dental exam and a vision exam prior to entering kindergarten. It would be helpful to schedule those appointments as soon as possible, as the clinics get overwhelmed in the summer. The district also needs a certified copy of each student’s birth certificate and two proofs of residency. If possible, return those with your pre-registration information. If a child attends a Taylorville preschool, packets will be delivered to the preschool. If the child does not currently attend a Taylorville preschool, stop by North School Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-3:30 pm.
Registration materials can be turned in at the family event at North School on Tuesday, Mar. 19 at 6:00 p.m. Jim Gill will be entertaining with his “read along-sing along” activities. Doors open at 5:50. Bring a blanket for the family to sit and enjoy the concert.
Anyone with questions can email kkuntzman@tcusd3.org or call the school office at 217-824-3315.
