| 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.
- Upload the ID's for emergency contacts in the same order that you listed them on the application. For example, if you listed Lisa Brown as Emergency Contact #1, upload Lisa Brown's ID as Emergency Contact ID #1.
____________________________________________________________
Registration for current 5th - 7th graders 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". Be sure to check your spam and promotions folder (Gmail) if you do not see it in your inbox. If you did not receive one, 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. Click here to watch a tutorial on how to use Cam Scanner and how to upload documents.
- Required Documents
- Government issued ID for enrolling parent and all emergency contacts
- Updated Immunizations for 6th and 7thgrade students ONLY (
Schedule doctors' appointments before 2/29/16 if your student has not already gotten the vaccinations below; make sure to get the updated form before 2/29/16
.) - Two doses of varicella vaccine are required for children entering school at any level, K-12, for the first time. For children already enrolled, the second dose is required at 6th grade. If given before age 12, the doses should be separated by 3 months, however, the 2nd dose does not need to be repeated if administered≥ 1 month after 1st dose. If given on or after the 13th birthday, the doses should be separated by 4 or more weeks.
- One dose of Tdap is required for 7th grade. Tdap can be administered regardless of the interval since the last Td. If a primary series is indicated, one dose preferably the first dose, should be Tdap. A dose of Tdap given on or after the 7th birthday meets school requirement.
- One dose of MCV4 is required for 7th grade; administer MCV4 vaccine routinely at age 11-12 years. A dose of MCV4 given on or after the 10th birthday meets school requirement.
- Proof of Residency
- Deed/Mortgage Statement/Lease (mortgage statements and leases must be dated within 30 days of submission date)
- Affidavit of Residency. The Affidavit of Residency must be notarized. We have notaries available on-site that can notarize documents for $5.00. Any documents that are notarized on-site can be scanned and uploaded for you.
- Georgia Power Bill (must be dated within 30 days of submission date)
- Two - Three Supporting Documents for Residency Verification (water bill, cable bill, phone bill, insurance bill, etc. - must be dated within 30 days of submission date). If you own or rent your residence, you need two supporting documents. If you live with someone else and your name is not on the lease or mortgage, you need three supporting documents.
IMPORTANT: Do not submit your application until you have uploaded all required documents. Once you submit the application, you will not be allowed to resubmit or make any changes.
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.

| Team and Family Update - Maternity Leave | |
Dear KVA Famliies,
For the past few years, I have taught at KIPP Vision Academy and this year, I have had the pleasure of serving as the Math Coordinator. I am very excited to inform you that I will be introducing a new KIPPster to our team and family in the next couple of weeks and I will be taking maternity leave starting on Friday, February 19, 2016 though the end of May.
It is a pleasure to be a part of such an amazing Team and Family, and I am honored to have the opportunity to teach and support each of your brilliant scholars. I will miss my KVA Team and Family very much and look forward to returning with my new baby girl!
In the interim, my position will be covered by a new member to our KVA Team and Family to ensure that your scholars are continuously supported in math, along with your scholars' hard-working math teachers.
If you have any last well wishes or questions during my last week, please feel free to reach out to me by email at MNunnally@kippvisionacademy.org or phone at (404) 423-5483.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Bannister (formerly Ms. Nunnally)
