Children must be five years of age on or before August 1, 2019 to be eligible for enrollment in kindergarten.  If you have a child who will be entering kindergarten at Battle Ground Elementary next year, please call the BGE school office to begin the preregistration process.  765-567-2200 Opt 1.  We will need a copy of your child's hospital birth certificate, immunizations, and proof of residency on kindergarten roundup day or please feel free to bring in these documents to the BGE office prior to Kindergarten Roundup day. 

On Kindergarten Roundup day we will be administering the kindergarten assessment test for each new Kindergartner.

NEWS FROM THE NURSE'S OFFICE 

Students with vomiting, diarrhea, undiagnosed skin rashes, or fever over 100 degrees should not attend school.  Students exhibiting these symptoms at school will be sent home.

With vomiting and diarrhea, the school nurse will evaluate any associated circumstances and other symptoms before making an exclusion decision.  Children vomit for reasons other than illness, including coughing, stress, exertion, reflux and food intolerance.

Students with vomiting, diarrhea, or fever over 100 degrees should not return to school until the symptoms have resolved without medication for 24 hours.

Students with pink eye may return to school with a doctor's note when the symptoms subside or when a student shows treatment has begun with appropriate eye drops.  Contagious skin rashes should be reported to your school nurse and a note will be required by your child's physician to return to school.  

Please remember with all of these exclusion criteria that our job is to facilitate students remaining in school.  Our goal is to have the child miss as little class time as possible.

E-Flyers

TSC supports 'green' efforts and as such to help ensure students receive information about community services or events, flyers from non-profit outside organizations are posted online in a section called E-Flyers. All E-Flyers can be accessed from any TSC School Website: www.tscschools.com by clicking the 'students' or 'parents' link in the upper right hand corner of the webpage. E-Flyers will be posted on the 15th and 30th of the month so be sure to check regularly for newly posted information. If your qualifying organization is interested in posting an E-Flyer, go to www.tscschools.com E-Flyers section to submit the information.

Volunteer Informaton

It is a priority of the Tippecanoe School Corporation to provide a safe learning environment for all of our students and employees. In an effort to continue our due diligence, we now require all volunteers having ongoing contact with children and/or supervising students (field trips, etc.) to have cleared an expanded criminal background check. These background checks are conducted through Background Investigation Bureau (BIB).  

The criminal background check will search national sex offender databases, court records,and other sources. The cost of the criminal history check is $17.95 (base cost) and is paid for by the volunteer through a link on our website.

Once approved, the volunteer will receive a TSC Volunteer identification card that will be valid for a period of three (3) years. If you volunteer in multiple buildings, you will only need to complete one background check.

Volunteer background checks may take several business days to process so it is important to plan ahead.  

We appreciate your understanding of this important safety guideline.
