Transfer students will be expected to produce other pertinent records from the previous school. A child must be five years of age on or before September 1st of the year in which the child is to be enrolled in kindergarten. According to Board Policy, children who attain the age of five after September 1 would be eligible to attend kindergarten the next year. A physical examination and immunizations are also required. A student must also be a valid resident of the school district and provide required proofs of residency.
Residency is defined as the district wherein the parent or legal guardian resides.
If a weather emergency or other type of emergency requires the closing of any school, PTA room mothers will be notified and asked to call the students' homes. This information will be broadcast over several Chicago radio and TV stations. When a child enrolled in public school is absent from school, the building administrator has the responsibility to determine whether the child is truant. If such determination is made the administrator shall follow the compulsory atten-dance guidelines developed by the Suburban Cook County Regional Office of Education. It is necessary for the school to have a current phone number where parents can be contacted.
