It's not too late to enroll your child in kindergarten if you were unable to attend Kindergarten Registration, in fact you are encouraged to enroll your child as soon as possible.  This will help the District to know the approximate number of kindergarten students they will be serving in the fall and it will also help to determine the appropriate number of classes and teachers needed.  A make-up day will be scheduled at a later date to conduct assessments. 

Q. Where do I go to enroll my child since I missed Kindergarten Registration?

A. You may go to any school site office to pick up an enrollment packet.

Q. How old does my child need to be in order to be enrolled in kindergarten for school this fall?

A. Your child will need to be turning five years old on, or before September 1, 2012  

Q. What do I need to have in order to enroll my child?

• Legal evidence of age, i.e. a birth certificate, passport, immigration certificate or Bible record
• Immunization record
• Proof of residency, i.e. a PG&E bill, phone bill, rent receipts or something that shows your current address
• You will also need to provide a current home phone number and two emergency contact phone numbers

Q. What immunizations does my child need before they can enter kindergarten next year?

A. They must have the following immunizations BEFORE the FIRST day of school:

• Polio - 4 doses (3 meet the requirement if last dose was given after the 4th birthday)
• DPT - 5 doses (4 meet the requirement if last dose was given after the 4th birthday)
• MMR - 2 doses
• Hepatitis B - 3 doses
• Varicella vaccine (chicken pox) - 1 dose or documention BY A PHYSICIAN that the child has had the disease
   

Q. What happens if my child turns five AFTER September 1, 2012?

A. The Corning Union School District will be enrolling students with a birth date between September 2nd and December 2nd to a transitional kindergarten program for the 2012-2013 academic year.  Transitional kindergarten students will be combined with a regular kindergarten class when there are not enough students to fill a separate class.  Transitional kindergarten students will be offered a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate.  Transitional kindergarten students will then be eligible for kindergarten the following academic year.  You can read more about transitional kindergarten in the column to the right.

Students who have a birth date on or before September 1st are eligible to enroll in kindergarten.  Parents may opt to enroll their child in the transitional kindergarten if they feel it is a more developmentally appropriate placement.  Parents who choose to enroll their child in the kindergarten transitional program do so with the understanding that their child will complete kindergarten the following year.
