Volunteering At Eight Corners
If you plan on volunteering with us this year, and have not completed the training yet, please join us at the upcoming Volunteer Training Sessions via Zoom!
UPCOMING TRAINING SESSION:
When: Fri May 31, 2024 9:15am – 9:45am (EDT)
Where: https://scarboroughschools.zoom.us/j/9577613642?omn=99561928153
*If folks did the online training last year, they do not need to redo it. We ask people to complete the online training once per phase (K-2 and again in 3-5), but that they sign the volunteer/confidentiality form annually. If folks are unsure of their status, they can check in with their school office.
Kindergarten Registration for 2024-25
Kindergarten Registration for 2024-2025 is now open!
We are eager to welcome our newest students to Scarborough Public Schools for Kindergarten in 2024- 2025.
Kindergarten is open to any student who turns 5 on or before Oct. 15, 2024.
If your child meets this criteria, and you are sending them to school in the fall, please complete the form linked here: REGISTRATION FORM
If your child meets the age requirement, but you are undecided about sending them due to their age or developmental level, please complete the REGISTRATION FORM anyway. This will help us plan for all potential students.
Appointments will be scheduled later this spring in each of our schools to review paperwork, including notarization of residency.
If your child has specific health concerns, you can call or set up an appointment with one of our school nurses at any time.
More information will be provided throughout the spring!
