small medium large We are pleased to have a special kindergarten campus which houses only our kindergarten classes approximately 1 mile from the main campus. It is located at the Buckhead Baptist Church site at 4100 Roswell Road. Mr. Tommy Usher is the Kindergarten Program Administrator (tusher@atlanta.k12.ga.us) and Bobbie Martin is the secretary (bmartin@atlant.k12.ga.us). Please be sure to visit Mr. Usher's website for more information about activities at the Sarah Smith Kindergarten Campus. We realize that entering kindergarten is an important milestone for a child. It is an exciting experience and should be a very enjoyable one for the child and the parents. It is with the kindergarten school year that feelings and attitudes about school are first developed. Through the joint efforts with the child, parent, and school's staff, our intention is that each stage of a child's growth be rich, full, and satisfying. Even though the Sarah Smith Kindergarten is located off-site of the main campus, it is still an integral part of the total elementary school program and provides an opportunity for continuous growth and development of young children. There is a planned curriculum that is designed specifically for kindergarten students. Upon visiting the Kindergarten Campus, you will see children busily painting, manipulating blocks and beads, "cooking" measuring, classifying materials, engaging in pre-writing and pre-reading activities, and, in some cases, actually writing and reading. It is neither the norm nor the exception for a child to enter kindergarten reading. However, quality preschool programs provide great "beginnings" and the kindergarten staff then works with a variety of methods and strategies to reach all learners at their levels. Parents are a vital part of the team to provide a program that will promote optimum growth for the child. Their support and understanding are needed. Parents are encouraged to work directly with the child's teacher to find out ways to help and be involved in this all important experience. Please note the following registration process used at Sarah Smith for incoming kindergarten students: - Please visit the "Enrollment Information" link on the Principal's webpage for required documents necessary for registration. - Until all required materials are provided to the school, the child's registration file will be placed in an "incomplete" category. As you acquire the missing items, please drop the by the school and we will add them to the child's file. - Once a child's registration requirements are met, he/she will be placed in the "complete" category and will be ready to have his/her class assigned. - Letters will be mailed to the kindergarten students during the first week in August informing them of their class assignment. Also, included in the letter will be a time to drop by the Kindergarten Campus and meet the teacher and see the classroom prior to the first day of school. Again, kindergarten is a very special time for children. If you have any questions about enrollment or the registration process, please don't hesitate to contact the kindergarten campus (404-256-3317) or the main campus (404-802-3850).
