Kindergarten Enrollment Overview
You must contact the Homeschool Coordinator after reading through this packet overview to receive the link to the registration forms and the password to access them.
Here is an explanation of the registration forms. A late fee is charged for tardy paperwork so please pay close attention to the dates on which these forms are due.
Check List:
You do not need to print off this check list - it is for the coordinator to use. It is included so that you can see all the things you will need to bring with you to your registration meeting. The request for records form, as well as the previously completed academic records, do not apply to those registering for Kindergarten unless they are transferring from The King’s Academy pre-school program.
Application Form:
This form must be printed off and completed for the registration meeting. Please be sure to fill in every field. The bottom of the form does not always print off completely but there is space where you need to sign and date the document. On this form is a space for your email address. The area provided has caused problems in the past because many email addresses are very long and have to be compressed to fit. However, all communication from this Umbrella will be through email and so a correct email address is pertinent. Please send the Homeschool coordinator an email the day of your meeting using the email address that you would like to have on record so that we can be sure it is entered in correctly. We have had email addresses entered incorrectly in the past and parents have missed important information that was sent through mass emails.
Statement of Faith:
This form must be printed off and completed for the registration meeting. Please be sure at least one parent signs and dates at the bottom.
Certificate of Immunization:
This is an official form and must be filled out by a certified health care provider. You can print off this form or use the form that they have. Printed proof of immunization must be turned in at the registration meeting. If you do not vaccinate for religious reasons, please print this form off and fill in the information on the top left of the form, and then check the religious exemption box on the top right of the form. Please sign and date the form at the bottom right to verify that you are choosing not to vaccinate.
Curriculum Overview:
This form must be printed off and completed for the registration meeting. Most curriculum for Kindergarten will not cover all of these subjects. Please be sure to fill in the ones that it does cover. Bible, Reading, and Math must be covered. If you have any questions regarding curriculum please email the Homeschool Coordinator.
Financial Enrollment Contract:
This form must be printed and completed for the registration meeting. Please notice that Kindergarten graduation is an option and there is an extra fee to be added in to the total for the year. The deadlines and requirements to join the graduation ceremony are further explained in the Homeschool Overview. If you are enrolling more than one child, please use the 2021-2022 Fee Schedule to determine if you are eligible for a registration discount. Full payment for the year will be required at the final meeting. Please pay by check if possible. Credit or Debit will only be an option if the school business office is open at the time of your meeting.
Attendance/Grades:
This form is for you to use during the year to keep track of the days you have conducted at least 4 hours of school. The State requires a minimum of 180 days of school each year. These days can begin July 1st and must be completed by June 30th. This form must be turned in to the Homeschool Coordinator by June 30th to complete your file for the year. Not all curriculum comes with a program to determine a quarterly and semester grade, therefore it is up to you as the teacher to determine the student’s grade for each quarter. This form is only turned in at the completion of the required 180 days, no later than June 30th. A $20 late fee will be charged for each week that you are late turning in this form. If you are homeschooling several students, you must turn in a separate form for each of them.
