Families should have the following required documents in their possession and ready to be uploaded in a pdf, jpg, or png format when registering a child for kindergarten:

  • Proof of identity
  • The child’s original birth certificate or birth record
  • A copy of the student’s immunization record
  • Two proofs of residency (deed/lease/mortgage and current utility bill)
