Bibb County parents can start preregistering their children for kindergarten March 6.

The short application will be available at www.bcsdk12.net until March 17.

Children already enrolled in Bibb County pre-K do not need to register for kindergarten.

After the preregistration information is received, schools will schedule appointments with parents in April to finish the process.

At this in-person meeting, the parent needs to a bring a certified birth certificate showing the child is 5 years old by Sept. 1, 2017; a Social Security card; two proofs of residency; updated immunization form 3231; dental, vision and hearing screening form 3300; and emergency contact information.

Those without internet can call their child’s zoned school or 478-765-8600. Spanish-speaking families can call 478-318-8626.
