A.

Children must be five (5) years old on or before August 1 or be admitted pursuant to the District's early entrance criteria.

B.

Children must be registered by their parent(s) or guardian(s). Guardians must present proper certification of legal guardianship and, when applicable, a parent is to provide a copy of any custody arrangements.

If a birth certificate is not provided, the parent must complete Form 5111 F3 and submit with the specified documentary evidence. If custody has been established by the courts, a copy of the court order must be provided.

Children who are placed in a foster home or residential facility (as defined in Policy 5112) will not be denied admission solely because they do not present a birth certificate, comparable certification, or other comparable document upon registration. Such protected children will be admitted under temporary enrollment for a period of up to ninety (90) days to present the required documentation. The protected children and/or their parents, guardians, or custodians will be so informed at the time of initial admission.

C.

Children transferring from another public or chartered nonpublic school kindergarten who do not meet the age requirements shall be admitted.
