Registration for kindergarten and transitional kindergarten in Lake Tahoe Unified School District for next school year begins in May.

For kindergarten, children must be 5 before Sept. 1, 2017, and the transitional program they must turn 5 between Sept. 2-Dec. 2, 2017. The transitional program is two years at Tahoe Valley Elementary School.

California law requires the following information:

• Child’s birth certificate

• Health examination upon entry to school (schedule with your family physician).
• Oral health examination upon entry to school (dental examinations that have occurred in the last 12 months meet this requirement).
• Proof of California residency (lease agreement, mortgage statement, utility statement, etc.).
