Kindergarten/First Grade Registration 2019-2020
Greenville County Schools
encourages parents to register for kindergarten and first grade for the
2019-2020 school year beginning December 4-7, 2018. We are preparing for
your child to enter school in August 2019 and are so excited to have your child
with us. By completing registration early, you will save time!
It is important to register your
child before school starts in August so we can ensure enough teachers and
spaces are available at each school for incoming kindergarten and first grade
students. Children who will be five years old on or before September 1,
2019 must enroll in kindergarten. A child who will be six years old on or before
September 1, 2019 must enroll in first grade. Students who are currently
enrolled in a GCS 4K or 5K program do not need to register.
Please bring the following items to
register:
·
Photo ID from any state or country
·
State-issued Birth Certificate
·
Properly Completed Immunization Certificate or Religious Exemption
Certificate
·
Two Forms of Proof of Residence (two documents required such as a
current utility bill and copy of lease agreement)
For your child’s school assignment
and other information, visit the Kindergarten/First
Grade Registration website or call INFOLine at
355-3100.
2018 State
Report Cards
Below is the link to our School Report Card, released November
29, 2018 by the State Department of Education. Based on a number of
factors, each school in the state has been rated as excellent, good, average,
below average, or unsatisfactory.
These report cards are very different from past report cards in
our state. The new report cards factor in multiple data points, test
scores and surveys. The report attempts to measure a school’s academic
achievement, student progress, college and career readiness and school climate.
The reports will also include data on English Learners Progress, Student
Safety, and Financial information. High School reports will factor in
graduation rates, though the formula for determining the graduation rate has
changed slightly from past years.
For the first time in South Carolina, NAEP (National Assessment
of Educational Progress) scores will be used to help determine schools’
ratings. NAEP tests students in every state in fourth grade and eighth grade in
math, reading, science, and writing. The percentage of schools ranked in each
category (from unsatisfactory to excellent) will align to the State’s 2015 NAEP
results, so about 15 percent of schools in South Carolina will be rated
“excellent,” 20 percent will be rated “good,” 35 percent will be rated
“average,” 20 percent will be “below average,” and 10 percent will be
“unsatisfactory.”
Along with the new rating system, the report cards feature
several new pieces of data, including Education Value-Added Assessment System
(EVAAS). EVAAS measures student academic growth year-after-year. EVAAS
measures student academic position in relation to his/her peers from one-year
to another. Growth among lowest performing 20% of students counts double
toward each school’s report card.
Updates for
Emergency Text Messaging
Parents, if you currently have a landline listed as your
“Primary Contact Phone” and wish to receive texts about school cancellations or
other emergency schedule changes, please download and print this change in
phone number form and return it to school. Parents who already
list a cellular phone as their primary contact will not need to take action to
receive this service.
There’s
An App for That!
Be
sure you have downloaded our new app! You can download from the Apple Store or
Google Play. The App will give you information on lunch menus, teacher
websites, upcoming events, spirit nights, and much more.
