Is your family moving to the Mialn community? And
you have a child or children in grades pre-kindergarten through fourth grade? Welcome!
If you are moving during the school year, we
encourage you to come to the school to register your child as soon as
possible, even before you move if that is feasible. We realize that
adjustment to a new school during the school year is difficult, but the less
your child's school year is disrupted by absence, the better. Ideally, your
child should begin attending Milan Elementary the next school day after he or
she withdraws from the previous school.

Registration Requirements
Age: Kindergarten
students must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 30. A copy of the child's
proof of age must be supplied at the time of enrollment.
Immunization:
All students in grades K-12 must provide an
immunization certificate at the time of enrollment. This certificate may be
obtained from the county health department or from a physician upon proof of
immunization.
Physical Examination:
All students entering Kindergarten must have a physical examination. This may
be obtained from the county health department or from a physician.
Social Security Number and Birth Certificate:
All students entering this school system are asked
to provide to the school a copy of the student's Social Security card and
Birth Certificate. It may be easiest for parents to bring the original social
security card and birth certificate and the school will make a copy.
Transfer Records:
Students transferring into Milan Elementary School
must provide a withdrawal form from the previous school and official notice
from that school to verify grade placement at the time of withdrawal. The name
and address of the previous school also need to be provided.
Custody:
If any person other than a natural parent has
custody of a child, proof of legal custody or guardianship must be provided
before the child may be enrolled at Milan Elementary School.
Proof of Residence:
Two proofs of residence must be furnished at the
time of registration. Proof of residence is subject to investigation. For
further information, consult Billy Carey, Supervisor of Attendance.
When to Register
Our school office is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00
p.m. each school day and from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the summer. You may
come and register your child at any time during those hours. You need to
bring the required documents indicated above. If your child is transferring
from another school, you will need to bring proof of residence and a
withdrawal form or report card to verify grade placement. Many of the other
required documents will be obtained from the previous school.
If you're moving to the area
during the summer
We strongly encourage you to come by the school at
your earliest convenience to register your children. We're open every day
(Monday through Friday) from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the summer as we
work to prepare for the new school year. We would love an opportunity to meet
you and your children and to get them registered at Milan Elementary.
Getting your children registered early will allow
us to obtain their records from the previous school, giving us important
information needed to make an effective class placement for your children. It
will also ensure that your children's teachers will be ready to welcome them
at our open house held the week before school begins.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Milan
community. We believe you'll find our school staff, students, and parents
friendly and eager to help you and your child feel at home here.
