November is Kindergarten Registration Month!
Join us, along with First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney in promoting early and on-time kindergarten registration.
“Families should know that kindergarten registration is not a one-step process, and there are advantages and opportunities that come with starting early—opportunities that can help give children the best possible start to the school year. A good start to kindergarten helps set kids on a path to future success, including the all-important benchmark of grade-level reading.”
-First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney
Please Note: New SMS Kindergarten applicants are required to pre-register at the district/feeder school that serves their home address. For questions or assistance about pre-registration and choice applications, please contact our school office at 302-404-5367.
