Well, good morning and welcome to Pioneer Update brought to you by the Citizens Bank a bank built for you as we get caught
Up on what is happening at the Batesville School District. We're being joined by the Communications Coordinator for the school district, Megan Renihan.
How are you today?
I'm doing well Wes. How are you doing? Good the weekend didn't last long enough
But hey, we're on into Monday and that means there's some big news at four at the Batesville School District. Tell us a bit about it
Yes, that's right Wes. So we are so excited to announce that the Batesville School District will be adding
a hundred slots for our infant and toddler care program at our
Sulphur Rock campus miss Melissa
Mergy is actually going to be in charge of that and we're just so excited to be able to provide the expansion as of right now
We have over 300 students on our waiting list
So we want to help accommodate for that
Lots of child care within our community at an affordable price and we're just so excited because that means more little pioneers
Joining Pioneer Nation and some great news that came down from
Legislation is that there is no longer a 3% cap on those that can enroll in our school district
Because a lot of times what happens West is our kids go through our preschool program and we're already at our school choice max
And so those students have to find somewhere else to go
But now we'll be able to attract and retain those kids from early on and we take such fantastic
Care of them because of our staff so that means once we get them we get to keep them and we're so thrilled about that
Because that's really going to help that Sulphur Rock campus grow under the administration of miss Melissa Mergy and of course, Mr.
Dustin Rose is out there. So we're just extremely thrilled and then we've actually got our
Registration date set already so that's going to take place at our current preschool location for both
It's 650 Vine Street is the preschool locational many of you know as the old central building
So that's going to be on April 13th from 5 to 7 p.m.
So if you want to get registered make sure that you're going on April 13th from 5 to 7 p.m
To get registered. We're just so thrilled to see Pioneer Nation grow and during school choice
That also means that if it's more convenient for you as a parent to have your child enrolled
For you know K through 12th grade because of your infant care being at that location
We would love to make you a pioneer and get to benefit from all the wonderful things that our school district has to offer
Well, that is awesome. That is some really big news for the school district opening up a hundred extra slots now
Whenever they all do registration will they have a choice of which campus?
So with that, we actually have it to where they can pre-register for that location
So hopefully depending upon you knowing where the availability is
They you know if they're already secured at our preschool location on Vine Street? That's wonderful
But you know sometimes they may have bigger siblings that are out at sulfur rock and it's gonna save mom and dad
Time on that commute, so I'm sure that we'll be able to work something out as far as where that location is
Well, that is awesome
Well, thank you so much for joining us that is huge news for the Batesville school district
Opening up a hundred extra slots at the preschool and over there at the sulfur rock campus. Thank you so much for joining us
That's upon your update brought to you by the Citizens Bank a bank bill for you. Have a great day
Thank you!
