Registration open for South Lake Tahoe kindergarten and pre-kindergarten

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Even though schools are not currently open, registration is underway for kindergarten and Transitional kindergarten in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD).

To be eligible for kindergarten enrollment a child must be five years of age on or before September 1, 2020. If the child will be five years of age between September 1, 2020, and December 2, 2020, 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, 2020, and March 31, 2021. This optional program is only available as
space is available in the TK program. One can petition for entry into this program by contacting Tahoe Valley School directly.

The registration is taking place at all elementary schools in the district.

California law requires the following be presented at enrollment:

1. Child's birth certificate
2. Proof of immunizations, which include 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.)

Call for an appointment at your neighborhood elementary or enroll directly online as www.ltusd.org.
