Students entering kindergarten in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District in August need to be registered at their local school.

A child must be 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2014. If your child will turn 5 before Dec. 1, they qualify for transitional kindergarten.

California law requires:

1. The child’s birth certificate.

2. Proof of immunization, which includes the Varicella (chicken pox), Hepatitis B and for most children, the last booster shot. Children will not be enrolled in school without presenting an up-to-date immunization record.

3. A health examination upon entry to school. Schedule with your family doctor or clinic.

4. Oral health examination upon entry to school (dental examinations that have occurred in the last 12 months meet this requirement).

5. Proof of California residency.

Call the school for an appointment to register. Staff will be available starting Aug. 4:
