Painted Stone Elementary

Shelby County Public Schools checks enrollment at each school to determine capacity levels so the attendance waiver process can be reviewed. For the 2013-2014 school year, the only school where attendance waivers will be accepted is Heritage Elementary and only for grades Kindergarten, 1 and 2, according to Dr. Dave Weedman, Director of Pupil Personnel.

Letters have been sent to those families whose children have been included in waivers during the current school year. Requests for renewals are due June 30 to Central Office (1155 West Main Street) for confirmation the waiver can continue. Weedman said the decision is based on the student’s academic, attendance and behavior records.

Mrs. Haggard’s Kindergarten students worked hard adding single digit numbers, according to Principal Michelle Shipley who showcased the children in her weekly newsletter to teachers.
