OLD TOWN – Registration for all children entering Old Town School Department kindergarten classes in the fall of 2001 will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday, March 5; from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 6; and from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 7, at the elementary education office in the basement of the Helen Hunt School, 47 South Brunswick St.

Maine law requires children entering kindergarten should turn 5 years old on or before Oct. 15.

Parents are asked to bring their children’s legal birth certificates (not a hospital copy) and immunization records. It is not necessary to bring children to the registration. Kindergarten screening will be held in May.

The Old Town School Department says it is very important to have children registered on one of these days, as it needs to know the number of children who will be entering in 2001 before they can make a decision about possibly implementing full-day kindergarten classes.

For more information call the office at 827-3926.
