    Exciting News for Families with Four-Year Old Children


    Preschool Available through Hamblen County Department of Education
    Hamblen County Schools provides an exciting program of preschool education for four-year old
    students. Educators have long realized the importance of high quality preschool educational programs
    in helping children enter school ready to learn and optimize their full potential. The benefits of early
    childhood education impact the brains performance throughout life.
    Unfortunately, many children do not have the advantage of preschool. Educational research indicates
    that these children are more likely to repeat a grade, to not graduate, to qualify for special education,
    and to not attend college. Effective preschool programs can change these outcomes for all children.
    In order to better serve the needs of the community, the Hamblen County Board of Education opened
    its first early childhood program, Jump Start to Educational Excellence, on January 6, 2004, at Manley
    Elementary School. Preschool classes are now available at Manley, Russellville, Lincoln, West, and
    Witt. The program is designed to serve children who will be four years of age on or before August 15,
    2017. However, enrollment is limited. Jump Start to Educational Excellence is a full day program
    staffed with certified teachers who are experienced in early childhood education. The cost of the
    program is $90 per week. However, there are a limited number of scholarships available to cover
    the cost of the tuition for students who meet the guidelines. In addition to the full-day program,
    parents and guardians will have the option of enrolling students in the ESP program for after school
    care at some of the school sites.
    Registration will occur on Wednesday, February 22, 2017, from 8:15 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the
    school sites. Enrollment slots will be filled on a first-come, first-qualified basis. In order to
    register your student, the childs parent or guardian will need to bring the following items:
    The childs birth certificate
    Childs Social Security card
    Childs up-to-date immunization record
    Photo identification for the parent or guardian
    Two proofs of residence in Hamblen County (Utility bill, rent receipt, tax bill, or proof of
    official mailing address)
    If we are closed for inclement weather, registration will take place the next day school is in
    session and will begin the same time school begins.
    Preference for scholarship slots will be given to children who cannot be served by Head Start, but
    meet the Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines. In addition to these items,
    parents or guardians who are seeking tuition scholarships will be required to provide or complete
    the following:
    Last years federal tax returns, if filed, or statement from employer of this years projected
    income.
    Complete an income eligibility form (This application requires that you report all household
    income.)
    The program is based on firm educational research and best practice models. If you have further
    questions about the program or registration, please contact the principal of the school where you
    would like for your child to attend the preschool program.
