You may register for transitional Kindergarten if your child turns 5 years of age any time Sept. 2 through Dec. 1. Students must be 5 years of age on or before Sept. 1 to enroll in Kindergarten for the 2015-2016 school year.

At the time of registration, parents will be asked to present a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate or passport, proof of the child’s immunizations, and for Kindergarten and 1st Grade, proof of an oral health examination.  For residency verification, parents will also need to provide either final escrow papers, mortgage statement or lease/rental agreement, along with a current utility bill (gas, water or electric bill) and a driver’s license (or California I.D.) with the current home address.  Enrollment is on-going, and your residence address determines the elementary school where you should enroll your child.
