Register
for 2010– 2011
Kindergarten starting March 11th:
If you have a child who will enter Kindergarten this fall,
please register as soon as possible so Huntsville City
Schools can provide adequate numbers of teachers. Please
let your neighbors know, too. Early registration allows
your child to participate in our Kindergarten for a Day
program.
The Alabama State Department of Education requires the
following for a child to be officially enrolled in Kindergarten:
1. The child’s family must live in Hampton Cove Elementary
School zone and provide a signed lease or deed/mortgage/letter
from property manager and a recent utility or phone bill
addressed to parent/guardian at the address in school zone
(two different proofs).
2. A child must have original birth certificate and turn
five on or before September 2. To enter first grade, child
must turn six on or before September 2. A school is not
permitted to make decisions about grade placement. The
school will make a copy of this.
3. The child must have current Alabama immunizations for
Diphtheria, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, 2nd dose of
MMR, Tetanus, Pertussis, and Varicella or immunity to chicken
pox. The school must keep this “blue card” on
file.
4. According to the Alabama State Department of Education
resolution 12-8-88, the child must have a valid social
security number and card. The school will make a copy and
keep in a secure file. The number is not used as a student
number or for any other routine identification.
5. Emergency contact names and phone numbers are helpful
at registration and required when school begins, in case
a child is hurt or sick. We ask that the numbers be updated
when changes occur so that a parent can be contacted.
All items must be complete before a student will be enrolled
and assigned a teacher for the upcoming school year.

Attendance procedures are governed by the Alabama State
Department of Education’s and Huntsville City School
System’s regulations. Your school must have higher
than 95% average attendance each day to avoid penalties
issued by the federal Department of Education and to receive
a passing score on our State Department school report card.
