VPK coming to Ketterlinus!
We are SO thrilled to announce that Ketterlinus will be the proud location for a VPK class next school year! VPK is a pre-kindergarten program for four year old children who will be 4 on or before September 1st, 2013. The pro-gram will be a full day program with a fee based extended-day program, to create a full day learning opportunity for these students. We are currently working on all of the details. We couldn’t be more excited! Please look for addi-tional information to be sent home ! If you have any ques-tions, please contact Mr. Roberts at 547-8540.
Volunteer Corner
You can volunteer at home!
Want to volunteer but don't have the time dur-ing the day? We have a solution!! We can send projects that need to be done home with you so that you can do them from the comfort of your home. The projects will vary but can in-clude cutting, pasting, coloring, organizing, etc... Thanks for ALL that you do! Michelle Moore, Coordinator
Do you live outside of the Ketterlinus zone? If the answer is YES, then it’s almost time to re-apply for your hardship
transfer / out of zone waiver for next school year! If you have a child on an
approved 2012-13 Out of Zone Hardship, this waiver will expire at the end
of this school year. At that time, your child will be reassigned to your
zoned school for the 2013-14 school year. If you would like your child to
remain at the out of zone school he/she is currently attending, you must
apply for an Out of Zone Hardship waiver again. The request may only
be approved if your reason meets the criteria for a hardship. A student may be granted an Out of Zone Hardship transfer when a condi-
tion or situation exists that implies an adverse or compelling circumstance,
or a state of misfortune unique to that student’s life or a family’s life situa-
tion. In this case, you must complete a Hardship Out of Zone Application,
and submit it for approval to the Office for School Services. The transfer request process will begin on February 15, 2013. You will
have until April 30, 2013 to submit your request. The sooner your appli-
cation is received, the sooner your child’s class schedule for next school
year may be completed. If applicable to your reason for request, please be
sure to mention that you are applying for the “grandfathered” condition for
your fifth, eighth, or twelfth grade child when completing the Out of Zone
Application. Your prompt attention to submitting an application will assist
your school in preparing to meet requirements for state and federal fund-
ing, class size compliance, and other governmental and administrative
applications. The application is available in both an electronic version
(available February 15th on our website) and a paper version. Both appli-
cations and the directions for the process can be found on our district web-
site at: http://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/depts/os/schoolserv/transfers.
Additionally, please note that transportation will not be provided to
students who receive an approved out of zone waiver.
CAREERS on WHEELS! The 2nd Careers on Wheels event will be on Wednesday. Last year was such

school child is not totally fascinated with cars, trucks and other interesting vehicles! Here is
