Entrance Requirements
Any child between the ages of 6 weeks through 12 years of age is eligible for enrollment in the school. Within the first 10 days of enrollment, all children not already enrolled in elementary school, must return the blue and yellow health forms fully completed by your child's physcian. The elementary schools keep their student health forms, thus our school is not required to maintain duplicates. These forms, required by law in the state of Florida, ensure that all children admitted to the school are in good health with up-to-date immunizations. All students must have a registration packet completed in full prior to the child's school start date. Enrollment contracts, enrollment fees, and tuition deposits must be processed to finalize registration.

Parent Orientation
Happy Faces Prep School has an "open door" policy. We invite parents and families to drop in, unannounced, at any time. Additionally, we plan many activities and special events throughout the year to encourage parent envolvement, and we welcome volunteers.

Parent Information
Parents participate in a multitude of annual events, many chaperone field trips, others are volunteers in their child's classroom, while some donate materials or treats for special events. We partner with families in the education of their children and thus communication is vital.

Tools for Parent-School Information Exchange
The following list includes some of the routine means of communicating and planning with parents and families:

• The News Board is in the lobby. It will help to keep you up to date on what is coming up each month.
