Head there Thursday with a certified copy of your child's birth certificate, your child's Social Security number, a list of your child's vaccinations and proof of address such as a rental agreement, housing contract, power bill or water bill. Phone and cable bills don't count. This might also be a good week to make an appointment with the pediatrician. State law requires a health assessment no more than 12 months before school starts for each child entering kindergarten. The physicals can be done at a doctor's office or at the county health department.
Forms are available at all elementary schools.
State law also allows gifted children to enter kindergarten early. That registration will take place in April. Parents considering magnet schools should go ahead and register their child at a base school.
