Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) will be taking registrations for incoming kindergartners for the 2015-2016 school year starting April 28.
The registration period will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 28, and continue April 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. according to a MCPS school release.
Parents can register their child at any of the elementary school locations in Manassas City during the registration period, and should select the school that they plan to have their child to attend.
MCPS stated that students must turn five before the last day of September 2015 in order to be eligible for the upcoming year’s kindergarten class.
In order to find a child’s school, which is based on location, parents can look on the MCPS website.
Additionally, parents can register their child for the New Experiences in School Transitions (N.E.S.T) program.
An MCPS release stated that the N.E.S.T program aids children and their families in transitioning from home to school.
The program takes place three weeks before the beginning of the school year, and allows students to practice school skills and interacting with teachers and peers.
