Time to register for Lake Tahoe Unified schools

With school starting on August 31, its now time for children entering South Lake Tahoe schools for the first time to register,

Kindergartners need to be registered at their designated elementary school, as determined by location. Boundaries are available for viewing at www.ltusd.org or a map can be picked up at the Education Center at 1021 Al Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe.

To be eligible for enrollment a child must be five years of age on or before September 1, 2015. If your child was born in the month of September (2nd-30th), October or November and will be five years of age on or before December 1, 2015, they qualify for transitional kindergarten, a two year Kindergarten program located at Tahoe Valley Elementary School.

California law requires that you provide:

1. The child's birth certificate.

2. Proof of immunization, 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. A health examination upon entry to school. Schedule with your family doctor or clinic.

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.
