Please bring paper copies of relevant documentation on March 10, 2011. Parents are required to bring birth certificates of children to be registered to show proof of age. Only those children born on or before December 2, 2006 qualify for Kindergarten enrollment. Children should not accompany parents for enrollment.

State law requires that parents/guardians submit an immunization record prior to kindergarten entry. Parents should come prepared with documented evidence showing complete dates that children have been adequately immunized.

Parents must provide, at the time of enrollment, a grant deed or property tax statement and three additional proofs of residency. Parents renting/leasing must provide, at the time of enrollment, a lease AND a copy of the property owners rental permit from the City, and three additional proofs of residency. For information on acceptable proofs, please go to the District web site: www.piedmont.k12.ca.us/forms/board/5000.pdf – select Administrative Regulation 5111.1.

It is anticipated that each school will have several classes at each grade level. It is the intent to keep class sizes similar from school to school. In order to do this, children may be assigned to a Piedmont school outside their immediate residency area. Every attempt will be made to keep siblings together and to look at school proximity if a shift is necessary. However, students may be transferred to another elementary school within the District up to the first two weeks of the new school year. If you are new to the District or have not enrolled your children previously, please plan to enroll your student(s) on March 10, 2011.
