In accordance with the Kindergarten Readiness Act (Senate Bill 1381), students reaching the age of 5 on or before September 1st can enroll in Kindergarten, but those students reaching the age of 5 between September 2nd and December 2nd will be enrolled in a Transitional Kindergarten program, which is a two-year program. Students turning 5 between December 3rd and March 12th, may be eligible for a Transitional Kindergarten program or Early Learning program depending on the available space.
Below are the requirements for Registration
1. Verification of student’s age by a birth certificate is required for kindergarten registration.
2. The following immunizations and medical tests are required by law before a child can be enrolled in school:
(a) Minimum of 3 IPV (oral polio vaccine) and 4 DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) if both are given after the 4th birthday. However, a child will be fully immunized with 4 IPV and 5 DPT, regardless of the age in which the last dose was received.
(b) Two MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) administered after the 1st birthday.
(c) One PPD (mantoux), tuberculin skin test including results.
(d) Three doses of hepatitis B immunizations are required for kindergarten entry.
(e) Two Varicella (chickenpox vaccine)
3. A physical examination is required before a child can enter first grade. It is a good idea to get this examination at the same time the child goes to the doctor for the required immunizations for kindergarten. Forms for the physical examination may be picked up at the school prior to the registration or the day of the registration. The state required dental assessment forms for students entering kindergarten will also be available at the schools.
4. Verification of Residency – 2 different bills verifying address
5. Parents who are not able to enroll their children during the formal registration may go to the school office on any school day after the enrollment date listed above.
6. Please call the school site or the Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services (793-2453) if you have questions regarding kindergarten registration.
