As parents of preschoolers look ahead to the next school year and begin thinking about their child starting kindergarten, they are usually filled with mixed emotions. There is the excitement of starting the path to graduation, but also the trepidation that these youngsters are "growing up." Regardless, the entire process begins with getting registered for school.
Most elementary schools in the Washoe County School District will begin kindergarten registration for the 2010-11 school year on Monday, May 3. Some schools on a multi-track year round calendar may begin earlier. Parents are advised to check with their school for the exact dates and times.
Registration is done at the school the child will attend. Parents who are unsure of which school they are zoned for can check the school district website. Parents can see which school their child is zoned for by going to this section of the WCSD website http://www.washoe.k12.nv.us/schools/school-zoning-search
Students must be five years old on or before September 30, 2010 to be eligible for kindergarten. When parents come to the school, they will need to bring the following documents:
- An original birth certificate
- A current immunization record
- Social Security Number for the child (optional)
- Proof of residency, such as a power or telephone bill or a rental agreement
