The Sulphur Springs Independent School District will begin registration next week for the 2020-2021 school year.
New-to-district kindergarten through third grade students will register with Patty Garcia, administrative assistant to the assistant superintendent of elementary education by emailing kindergarten_new studentregistration@ssisd.net.
Parents who are interested in their new kindergarten students participating in the Two-Way Dual Language enrichment program may begin the application process during Online Round-up.
The Two-Way Dual Language Model is designed to teach children a second language in a natural way through subject content instruction and everyday classroom conversation. Students develop oral and cognitive academic language in both English and Spanish, while mastering grade-level knowledge and skills in all content areas.
Current Pre-K and Head Start students are not required to participate in Online Round-up but will complete returning student registration with their Skyward Family Access account. These students will have the opportunity to apply for the Two-Way Dual Language enrichment program at their current campus.
New Pre-K and Head Start students will register at Douglass ECLC at 600 Calvert St. Parents should call 903-885-4516 to set up an appointment.
Parents should be prepared to submit the following information for registration:
• Proof of residency within the district—current utility bill, rent/lease agreement or mortgage statement in the name of the parent or guardian;
• Photo ID of parent or guardian;
• Student’s official birth certificate;
• Student’s social security card;
• Student’s up-to-date immunization record;
• Note from a medical practitioner concerning student’s allergy and/or health needs;
• Custodial documents or court order, if applicable.
Parent information meetings will be held via live webinar through the Zoom meeting platform. Any parent interested in participating, contact Michelle Wallace, principal, at mwallace@ssisd.net or Lisa Robinson, director of curriculum and instruction, at lrobinson@ssisd.net.
Meetings will be held 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 21 and noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 22. Interested parents are asked to participate in one of these meetings.
