Registration for Cloverdale Schools available at fair

CLOVERDALE -- Cloverdale Community Schools have announced they will be providing registration during the Putnam County Fair.

Registration will also be provided at the Cloverdale Middle School cafeteria in August, as Cloverdale has in the past, for any students who do not register during the fair.

Dates for registration at the fair are Saturday, July 23-Tuesday, July 26 and Thursday, July 28-Friday, July 29 from 4-9 p.m.

Registration will be Aug. 4 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. in the CMS cafeteria. Registration for kindergarten and new students will be Aug. 5 and 6 in the individual buildings.

New students will need a copy of their birth certificate and immunization records. Proof of legal guardianship may be required. If registration is not possible on these days, please contact the individual schools to make other arrangements.

The students' first day will be Aug. 16 and lunch will be served.

All kindergarten students must be five years old on or before Aug. 1 to be eligible to enroll and must have a birth certificate and completed immunization record on file the first day of school. Parents need to bring their kindergartener with them at registration.
