State law and Board Policy 5111 require a child to be 5 years old on or before September 1 to enroll in Kindergarten. Early entrance to kindergarten is not permitted. The District makes no exceptions to this age cutoff.

 

A child who has completed a year of kindergarten maintained by a private or public school shall be admitted to first grade, unless the parents and the school district agree that the child may continue in kindergarten for not more than an additional school year.  Proof of completion (such as a report card) is required.

 

When a child has been legally enrolled in the public schools of another district within or out of state, he/she may be enrolled in school and placed in the grade attained in the former school.  The parent(s) or guardian(s) should be advised that the principal may adjust grade placement at a later date if conditions warrant.  When adjustments are necessary, the parent/guardian is informed and a parent conference may be arranged by the principal.
