· Please pick up your child’s medication in the clinic.

· McKinney ISD has a policy against sending any medication home with a student. Parents must come in personally and pick up any medications remaining in the clinic. We will NOT send home medication with your child for any reason.

· Medication left in the clinic on the last day of school will be disposed at the end of the day on June 7, 2018.

· No exceptions!

In an effort to continue to improve our safety and security procedures, new signs have been installed across the district where visitors ring in to the building. These signs direct visitors to state their full name, student's name, and the purpose of visit to campus as well as show their photo ID to the camera prior to entering the building. Thank you for helping us adhere to this district standard. Please also help us by not allowing anyone in the building behind you. All visitors should follow this same protocol.

Registration for Kindergarten and students new to Bennett is May 1st – June 8th, from 8:30AM – 2:45PM. The online portion MUST be done first at the McKinney ISD website https://www.mckinneyisd.net/enrollment/2018-19-new-student-enrollment. Once that is completed, parents may bring the required documents to school to complete the registration process. You will need the following documents:

1. Birth Certificate

2. Proof of Residency (Utility bill, lease agreement, or house contract)

3. Shot Records

4. Social Security Card (preferred but not required)

If you have any questions, please contact our registrar, Melissa Smith, melismith@mckinneyisd.net or 469.302.5400.
