4K and NEW 5K Student Registration for 2020-2021

We will be accepting 4K and 5K student registration at Latta Elementary School on May 7 and May 12-14 from 9 - 1 each day. This is only for NEW students that have never attended Latta Elementary School before. You may PICK UP a registration packet from the school if you are unable to print the forms on the website.

There will be a box under the breezeway marked COMPLETED REGISTRATION that you can place your registration form in once it is complete. There will also be a box with BLANK registration forms so you can pick it up, complete at home and return to school.

At this time, parents are not allowed in the building to pick up or drop off registration forms. Someone from the school will call to schedule your child for the DIAL 4 screening that will take place May 18-29.

Parents that want to fill out the registration forms for 4 year old kindergarten may do so by downloading and printing the 18 page document, completing it and gathering the necessary documentation. The document is at this link:
