The following information will need to be uploaded into the online enrollment application:

  • birth certificate
  • certificate of immunization
  • copy of physical from a physician on a Florida physical form
  • Social Security Card (copy will be kept sealed in the student’s permanent record and is not mandatory, but does help our school system with tracking important information for funding)
  • two proofs of residence (driver’s license, power bill, voter’s registration card, etc.)

To be eligible to enter kindergarten this fall, a student must be five years of age on or before September 1, 2021. 

School of choice is dependent upon enrollment capacity.  If you are outside of your school of choice zone, please complete the online Controlled Open Enrollment application in addition to the online registration form.  The Controlled Open Enrollment form is available on our website and will be available through May 14th.  All out of zone applications will be reviewed in May and a letter of acceptance or decline will be mailed to the address provided as soon as the review is complete at each school.

It is very important that children be registered so that staffing plans for the 2021-22 school year can be made.
