Kindergarten registration dates set for South Lake Tahoe children

This story has been updated:

Registration for kindergarten students in Lake Tahoe Unified School District for the 2019/20 school year will be held April 29-May 10, 2019 for Tahoe Valley and Sierra House elementary schools. For those enrolling in the Two-Way Immersion program at Bijou and wanting to enter the lottery for enrollment at Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School, the deadline is March 22.

To be eligible for Kindergarten enrollment a child must be five years of age on or before September 1, 2019. If your child will be five years of age between September 1, 2019, and December 2, 2019, they qualify for Transitional Kindergarten (TK); a two-year Kindergarten program located at Tahoe Valley Elementary School.

LTUSD is also offering an Early Entry TK program for students born between
December 3, 2014 and March 31, 2015. This optional program is only available as
space is available in the TK program. You can petition for entry into this program by contacting Tahoe Valley directly.

California Law requires that you bring the following:
1. Child's birth certificate
2. Proof of immunizations, which includes the Varicella (Chicken Pox), Hepatitis B and for most children, the last booster shot. Children will not be enrolled in school without presenting an up-to-date immunization record.
3. Health examination upon entry to school (schedule with your family Physician).
4. Oral health examination upon entry to school (dental examinations that have occurred in the last 12 months meet this requirement).
5. Proof of California residency (lease agreement, mortgage statement, utility statement, etc.)
