Family,
The word "Carnival" is often synonymous with countries such as Trinidad & Tobago and Brazil. It will now bring ideas of KVP and their worldly scholars. By bringing Carnival to our school, scholars have learned that their culture and ancestry does not stop in Southeast Atlanta. Instead, they see how they are connected to the beauty and variety that exists all over the world and they find personal connections to the dances, music, and art from other countries. We use this time to reinforce map skills, to teach animal needs and plant attributes, and to encourage teamwork and unity as they create a central theme for their homeroom costume. Please join us in celebrating the second annual KVP Carnival on Friday, February 19 at 2:00p in the KIPP Vision Campus Auditorium!
The journey continues,
Dr. Wheda A. Carletos, Ph.D.
Principal
KIPP Vision Primary School

Math Literacy Night
aka Family MATH Game Night
Please join us on Wednesday, February 24 from 5:30-7:00 PM for our 2nd Annual Family MATH Game Night!! It will be an evening of competition, laughter, and most importantly, learning! Bring your KVP scholars (and their siblings) to reinforce and challenge our math knowledge. Will you beat the Greedy Pig? Or will you be a Mind Reader? How about some Addition Fishin' ? You can even Dice-ercise for a healthy mind and body.
This year, come dressed in your homeroom college colors. The homeroom with the greatest percentage attendance will win a pizza party AND a Choice Dress day. Who will represent their class the best?
Come prepared to take home great ideas for family fun that incorporate math literacy. So scholars, turn off that video game and put away that tablet and let's learn!
We can't wait to see you!

| IMPORTANT - Current Student Registration |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting the application without uploading all of the required documents. Once you click submit, you cannot go back into the application. You will have to come to the school and an account administrator will have to login for you
- Not showing the parent's/guardian's name and address as well as the date on supporting documents for residency when scanning the documents. All three must be on the scanned image in order for it to be valid.
____________________________________________________________
Registration for current students began on February 11, 2016 and will end on February 29, 2016.
NEW THIS YEAR: For all KIPP Metro Atlanta Schools, the absolute last day to register current students for the upcoming 2016 - 2017 school year is February 29, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. If you do not click submit to complete registration by then and still want your student to attend for the upcoming school year, you will need to fill out an enrollment application on the KIPP Metro Atlanta website by March 15, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. and enter the lottery with all other prospective families. If you fill out the application after March 15, 2016 at 5:01 p.m., you will go to the end of the waiting list and will not have any enrollment preferences. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please make sure that you complete the application as soon as possible to allow time for any problems that may arise. Applications that are not in the submitted status by February 29, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. will be considered void.
The process for current student registration will be as follows:
-
The email was sent on February 11, 2016. By now, you should have received an email with the subject line "KIPP Vision Campus - Current Student Registration is Now Open".
If you did not receive the email, email TKnox@kippvisionacademy.org) - The email contains a unique snapcode link for each student for registration. Click on the link to begin the registration application. Please note that all registration information and documents should be submitted online through the registration application.
- If you are applying for bus transportation for the 2016 - 2017 school year, (morning, afternoon, or after care), you must complete the section of the application for bus transportation by the current student registration deadline. There is not a separate application this year. Failure to complete this section may result in your student not having bus transportation for the 2016 - 2017 school year.
- Once you have completed the information section of the registration application, you will be taken to the documents upload page where you will need to upload the required documents listed below.
- Documents must be scanned, saved and then, uploaded. If you do not have a scanner at home, below is the link to a video tutorial for a free scanning app on phones and tablets named Cam Scanner. If you do not wish to use this resource or one similar to it, you can go to the KVC Parent Center, Office Depot, Staples, FedEx Kinkos or some libraries. Go to https://vimeo.com/125634602 (for uploading using a computer) or https://vimeo.com/155006804
(for uploading using a mobile device) to watch a tutorial on how to use Cam Scanner and how to upload documents.

Once you click submit, we will be able to access your current student registration application and documents. You do NOT need to come to the school and bring your documents as the final step. We will review applications and documents online and contact you directly if there is an issue with any of your submissions. Otherwise, you will receive an email once your application has been approved and no further steps are required.
