Sarasota school offices open for student registration

Sub­mit­ted by Sara­sota County Pub­lic Schools

The admin­is­tra­tive offices of pub­lic schools through­out Sara­sota County will reopen today so par­ents may reg­is­ter stu­dents for the 2010-11 school year, which starts Mon­day, Aug. 23.

Entire post avail­able to non-subscribers

Par­ents who have not yet reg­is­tered their chil­dren for the new school year are urged to do so as soon as pos­si­ble, so schools will have an accu­rate enroll­ment pic­ture for the com­ing year for staffing and plan­ning purposes.

Reg­is­ter­ing stu­dents before the school year starts is espe­cially impor­tant this year, as the final phase of the 2002 class size amend­ment to the Florida Con­sti­tu­tion is imple­mented. This phase of the imple­men­ta­tion will hold indi­vid­ual class sizes to max­i­mum lev­els that vary by grade. Although the new Amend­ment 8 even­tu­ally could change some class size require­ments if it is approved by vot­ers in Novem­ber, school dis­tricts must adhere to the man­dates of the final phase of the orig­i­nal class size amend­ment that will go into effect at the begin­ning of this school year.

Sara­sota County chil­dren are assigned to Engle­wood Ele­men­tary School. Most Engle­wood mid­dle and high school  stu­dents in Sara­sota County attend L.A. Ainger Mid­dle and Lemon Bay High, which are part of the Char­lotte County sys­tem. Those schools open Aug. 9.

Phone num­bers and addresses for each school, as well as atten­dance zone maps, are avail­able at http://www.SarasotaCountySchools.net/schools.aspx or by call­ing the dis­trict at 941−927−9000.
