Head Start is also open to students with specified disabilities.
Parents of current returning students in Head Start must recertify their child and complete a new registration packet.
Parents of new students will need to certify their child and fill out a registration packet.
Required documents include a birth certificate, Social Security card, immunization records, proof of income (tax return or pay stubs), proof of residency (parent’s driver’s license), and any Medicaid, CHIPS or private insurance cards.
Those who need more information can call the NSES office at 325-762-3384.
Birth Certificates
