February 1st marks an exciting time for Henderson County's future class of 2036.
On Wednesday, Henderson County Public Schools (HCPS) opened online kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year. Children who will be five years old on or before Aug. 31, 2023 may be enrolled, and the school district says students should be registered in their home school district, even if their parents or guardians plan to make a request for a transfer in the future.
Families can call the HCPS Transportation Department at 828-697-4739 for assistance determining their home school district.
Parents or guardians can upload required documentation during the online registration process.
"Families are encouraged to use the smartphone-friendly online enrollment tool as early as possible, since earlier kindergarten registrations in February and March also allow schools to communicate important district messages leading up to the start of school," the district says in a release.
On Saturday, Feb. 25, the school district’s ESL Family Center and community partner Hola Carolina will be providing in-person support for families needing assistance with the online registration process in Spanish. “Inscripciones para Kinder en Español” will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. February 25 at the Hola Cultural Center, located in Jackson Park at 801 Fourth Ave. East, Hendersonville. Families can also contact ESL Family Liaison Evelyn Angeles-Alarcon at 828-388-2632 with questions about kindergarten registration.
