Graves Co. Future Eagle Nights in early to mid-May

GRAVES COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The Graves County Schools want to ease the transition to kindergarten this fall for students and their families.

So, several schools’ family resource centers have scheduled “Future Eagle Nights.”

Each event will begin with snacks. Parents and children then will visit classrooms, participate in fun activities throughout the school, and learn about kindergarten readiness. Each child will receive a free transitioning kit with activities to get ready during the summer.

Documentation may be brought in during this event. Enrolling kindergarten students are required to have this documentation prior to the first day of school, Aug. 6: a state-certified birth certificate, a Social Security card, a current immunization certificate, an entry level school physical examination form, a dental exam form, and an eye exam form.
