As you all know, this time of year is time to prepare for the next school year. One big event is Kindergarten Round-up! Well, due to the current world health situation we could not do that this year, so we are doing it remotely. Enrolling kindergarteners for school can happen in two ways; register online or fill out hard copies of the enrollment papers and return them to Student Services or William Ford Elementary.
If you have a child who will turn five before December 1st they are eligible for Young 5s or Kindergarten. See below the steps to register your child for Young 5s or Kindergarten at William Ford.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me (higgind@dearbornschools.org) or call William Ford’s Google Number at 313-451-3077.
