What are the age requirements to register for kindergarten?
Children must be five years of age on or before October 1st to enroll in kindergarten and six years of age by the same date to enroll in grade one, unless previous public school kindergarten attendance can be verified. If a student is transferring from a parochial, private, or other public school at the kindergarten or first grade level and does not meet the entrance age requirements, it is recommended that the principal, teacher and a supervisor screen the student as an exception and make a decision at the building level, using any of the support services recommended. If testing is used in any of these cases, no charge will be made to parents.
