In order to be registered for kindergarten, a child must be five years of age on or before December 1 of the calendar year in which they enter school. Children must attend school if they turn six on or before December 1 of that school year. Parents should be sure that their child is fully immunized, and a current document should be available from their family physician or a clinic. Each child will also need a copy of his or her original birth certificate (with a raised seal) issued by the state. State law requires that no child will be registered without this documentation.
