2023-24 Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten Registration is open.

The links to register will be available at https://www.morgank12.org/Page/4972

  • A time will be set up in the future for your school to receive your child's documents. Updates will be posted on the MCS website, app and Facebook page.
  • Registration does not guarantee enrollment. The local school will contact you for an appointment. At that time, please be prepared with the following documents: birth certificate and social security card are preferred but not required, current immunization record, two proofs of residency and custodial paperwork if applicable.

Special thanks to the MCBOE for supporting an additional CTE program "Teaching and Training" along with our highly acclaimed "Early Childhood Education" program.

This program provides students with the knowledge and skills needed for teaching and professional training consultant careers. Courses provide an overview of teaching and learning theories; curriculum development; teaching techniques; instructional resources and the use of technology; types of assessments; classroom management strategies; and ethics and professionalism. It also provides a real-world opportunity for students to learn from classroom teachers through the practicum experience. This course will create an incredible opportunity to 'grow our own' teachers in a way that we haven't had before, with the hope that these students will complete their teaching degrees and return to Morgan County to teach.
