District Announcements
4K and 5K Registration Begins January 9
The School District of Pickens County will conduct registration for four-year-old (4K) and five-year-old (5K) kindergarten beginning January 9, 2012.  Children must register at the school in the attendance zone in which they reside and must be registered by their parent/legal guardian.  Registration hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day. Parents are encouraged to register kindergarten students the scheduled dates of January 9 through January 31, 2012.  However, students may be registered at the elementary school in their attendance zone during normal school hours any time before the first day of school begins.

A child who is four years old on or before September 1, 2012 may register for four-year-old kindergarten; however, the child must qualify for the program.  A child who is five years old on or before September 1, 2012 can register for five-year-old kindergarten.
 
To enroll, a student must reside in Pickens County with his/her parent or legal guardian and provide the following three required documents:
  1. Student’s state-issued birth certificate – not the hospital keepsake copy;
  2. Student’s South Carolina Certificate of Immunization;
  3. Proof of Pickens County residence. A parent or guardian must provide proof of Pickens County residence when a student first enrolls at any school. Acceptable proof of residence is a current electricity, gas, water or cable/satellite bill in the parent/guardian’s name.  The bill must show the service address. 
Since 4K programs are funded only for identified four-year old children who have significant readiness deficiencies, students are screened prior to placement.  All elementary schools have 4K programs on site; however, 4K programs for the upcoming school year are contingent on funding.

Welcome to West End- A Title I School-Wide Model School!
