5302 Enrollment in Kindergarten

A child must be at least 5 years old on or before December 1 of the school year to enroll in kindergarten. A child who will turn 5 years old after September 1 and on or before December 1 of the school year may only enroll in kindergarten if the child’s parent/guardian provides written notice to the District. In that circumstance, the Superintendent or designee may recommend to the parent/guardian that the child is not ready to enroll in kindergarten. Regardless of this recommendation, the parent/guardian retains sole discretion to enroll the child in kindergarten, so long as the child will turn 5 years old on or before December 1.

A child who will not turn 5 years old on or before December 1 of the school year may not enroll in kindergarten without the express written authorization of the Superintendent, whose decision is final. The District may charge tuition in that instance.
