What to Expect: While there will be future events for children and families to attend together, this event is for parents only. Based on community feedback, we have streamlined the entire enrollment process to allow families time to meet one-on-one with the school secretary, walk through the enrollment process and ask questions. Additionally, there will be opportunities to meet the principal, dean of students, kindergarten and Young Fives teachers. For parents who have specific student concerns, the district nurse and the regional supervisor of Special Education will be on site to meet with families. To ensure reliable transportation arrangements are in place for your child for the 2025-2026 school year, families will be able to complete transportation request forms as well. It is now required that all students entering kindergarten or Young Fives have dental, vision and hearing screenings before the school year begins. Thanks to the Van Buren/Cass County Health Department, these screenings will take place at Paw Paw Early Elementary over the summer. Families will also be able to schedule this in advance. Cookies and Coffee will be served! What to Bring: • Your child’s original birth certificate • Immunization records • Proof of residency • Current photo of your child (hard copy or electronic) • Health appraisal with vision and hearing screenings • Dental screening, no more than six months prior to start of school • Any medical diagnosis documentation we should know about • Any special education documentation we should know about
