ICS plans ‘Connect to Kindergarten’ event

All area chil­dren with birth­dates prior to Aug. 1, and their par­ents are invited to “Con­nect to Kinder­garten!” at Immac­u­late Con­cep­tion School on Tues­day, March 19.

Dur­ing the pro­gram, par­ents will learn how to best pre­pare their chil­dren aca­d­e­m­i­cally, socially and spir­i­tu­ally for the kinder­garten year.

Chil­dren attend­ing will spend time with pro­fes­sional staff.

“We’ll have activ­i­ties in gross and fine motor skills and gen­eral knowl­edge,” ICS Kinder­garten teacher, Jane Fox, said. “Too, they will meet with our school speech ther­a­pist for speech screening.”

In addi­tion, chil­dren will spend time with the school nurse for vision and hear­ing screening.

“Our school reg­is­tra­tion begins on March 3,” ICS Prin­ci­pal, Karen Mal­colm said.

“Par­ents who wish to reg­is­ter their chil­dren to our school will need to bring their child’s birth cer­tifi­cate, bap­tismal cer­tifi­cate, immu­niza­tion records and cus­tody and/or legal guardian­ship papers.”

Immac­u­late Con­cep­tion School, located at 304 E. Broad St., is a Kinder­garten through eighth grade Catholic school.

The fac­ulty and staff at Immac­u­late Con­cep­tion School pro­mote the Catholic faith, teach­ings, morals and val­ues through the total edu­ca­tion of the each child.

“We are ded­i­cated to fos­ter­ing an atmos­phere that encour­ages the devel­op­ment of each child’s unique­ness,” Mal­colm said.
