AGE REQUIREMENTS TO ENROLL IN PUBLIC SCHOOL:
On or before September 1st of the school year the child is enrolling for, the student must be age 4 to enroll in PK, age 5 to enroll in K, and may be ages 6-21 to enroll in grades 1-12.
IN ADDITION TO THE ENROLLMENT FORMS, PARENTS OR GUARDIANS MUST PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:
1. BIRTH VERIFICATION
Parents/guardians of children new to the district will be asked to provide an official copy of the birth certificate for school files. Although an official birth certificate is preferred, in the absence of a birth certificate, the principal may accept other documentation that shows the child’s name and date of birth such as:
- An attending physician’s certificate
- Permanent school records
- Family bills (shows student’s date of birth)
- Last year’s attendance register or other official scholastic record
- Baptismal certificate
- Passport Life
- Insurance policy
The principal may also allow the parent/guardian a reasonable length of time to obtain proof of birth (parent contacts the department of health from the student’s birth city). In such a case, the principal will be responsible for dismissing the student at the end of the grace period unless proof of birth is presented. If the principal denies enrollment due to the absence of proof of birth, the parent may appeal to the site director.
