Enrollment for New K-5 Students Thursday

From the Piedmont Unified School District:

Enrollment of new Kindergarten through Fifth Grade students who will enter Piedmont Schools in the Fall of 2012 will be held on Thursday, August 2, 2012, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the following location:

Havens Elementary School, 323 Highland Avenue, Piedmont

You may download documents for enrollment on the District website at http://www.piedmont.k12.ca.us/district-info/downloadable-forms. Please bring paper copies of relevant documentation. Parents are required to bring original birth certificates of children to be registered to show proof of age. To enroll in our Kindergarten program, children must be 5 years old on or before Nov. 1, 2012.  Children should not accompany parents for enrollment.

State law requires that parents/guardians submit an immunization record prior to kindergarten entry. Parents should come prepared with documented evidence showing complete dates that children have been adequately immunized. Parents must provide, at the time of enrollment, a grant deed and three additional proofs of residency. Parents renting/leasing must provide, at the time of enrollment, a lease AND a copy of the property owner’s rental permit from the city, and three additional proofs of residency. For information on acceptable proofs, please go to the District web site: www.piedmont.k12.ca.us/forms/board/5000.pdf – select Administrative Regulation 5111.1.

It is anticipated that each school will have several classes at each grade level. It is the intent to keep class sizes similar from school to school. In order to do this, children may be assigned to a Piedmont school outside their immediate residency area. Every attempt will be made to keep siblings together and to look at school proximity if a shift is necessary. However, students may be transferred to another elementary school within the District up to the first two weeks of the new school year. If you are new to the District or have not enrolled your children previously, please plan to enroll your student(s) on August 2, 2012.
