BSO Kindergarten Registration 2022-2023 - Form

BSO Kindergarten Registration

Please fill out the necessary sections of the form to confirm your child’s registration for the 2022-2023 school year and read to completion as there are many changes. This enrollment form includes registration and digital releases needed for participation at B'nai Shalom of Olney. By filling in your name in the form below, you are providing a digital signature equal to signing a "hard copy" release for your child.

In addition to the form below, Maryland requires all students to have an annual health assessment, updated immunization records, and a lead test (for those required). Before your child can begin school, these forms must be on file with the front office.

If your child has allergy or medical reasons that we may need to administer prescription medication at school, a Medical Conditions and Instructions Sheet and Medication Authorization Form, both completed and signed by your child's pediatrician, should be provided to the school along with any emergency medication needed before your child begins school.

Downloadable copies of all medical forms, as well as the ACH payment authorization form can be found here.

BSO Animal Consent

B'nai Shalom of Olney believes in compassion for all creatures. We feel that children will learn responsibility, caring, and sharing with any kind of animal that they are responsible for in the classroom. Our classroom environments may have animals and pets that are completely safe and under the supervision of teachers. Students will be taught how to care for and hold our creatures. BSO Kindergarten endorses strict guidelines for hand washing after handling. All creatures are enclosed in cages and aquariums with child safety locks. Students will also be given the opportunity to pet or look closely at the animals if they choose.

I hereby grant permission for my child to be around the animals in school under adult supervision. I hereby understand all cages and aquariums are closed with child safety locks. I hereby understand that my child will have an opportunity to look or pet an animal if he or she would like to.

Outdoor Play

Use of our "outdoor classroom" is an important part of the curriculum in Kindergarten. Children play outdoors year-round, exploring their environment, learning about changes in seasons and weather, and developing an appreciation for the local ecology. Children may get wet and/or dirty during outdoor play. Please check the outdoor play releases below.

Children with Special Needs

All children are welcome in our Kindergarten Program at B'nai Shalom of Olney. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin in the admission of students. We do everything that is possible to accommodate all children in our program.

When we have a child that is having difficulty in our typical classroom, we will consult with parents and as well as representatives from the Montgomery County Childcare Resource and Referral Service or other providers as requested by the parents. We will work exhaustively with parents, the classroom staff, and any support personnel hired by the parents (for example, educational consultants, physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, etc.) to accommodate your child.

If it is decided that the child can be accommodated in our classroom with a trained support person providing one-on-one help for that child, it is hoped that the program will continue for that child. Our affiliated agencies will provide training for our staff and consult with the parents and the professional staff the parents are using.

It needs to be understood by all parties involved that parents must pay for the additional support person in the classroom and for the training of that support person. The parents must also pay for consultations, testing and professional services. It would be expected that parents would work with the school staff to get the appropriate support help and be involved in the development and individual education plan for their child.

We will make every effort to work with you and your child. If, however, after exhaustive measures, we are not able to sustain a classroom environment for all of the children that is consistent with BSO Kindergarten’s philosophy and goals, it may become necessary to find another program for your child.

* We have read the B’nai Shalom of Olney Kindergarten policy about children with special needs. We are aware of and will abide by the school’s policies.
