Eligibility: To be eligible to register for kindergarten, a child must reach 5 years of age on or before Nov. 1, 2012.

Required student information
At the time of registration, the following must be presented:

-- A birth certificate or other birth record, such as a baptismal certificate (must provide birth certificate within 30 days);

-- Your child’s social security card or number;

-- Proof of residency, such as a gas and electric bill, rental agreement or escrow papers less than 45 days from closing; Recent Property Tax Payment receipt, Recent Pay Check Stub, Voter Registration Card or A certified copy of the Voter Registration Application Form.

Evidence of Mantoux intradermal skin test (tuberculosis screening).

California law now requires that each kindergarten student has an oral health assessment. The law specifies that the assessment must be performed by a licensed dentist or other licensed or registered dental health professional. Oral health assessments that have taken place within 12 months prior entering school will meet this requirement.

Clovis Unified requires that each child entering kindergarten receive the Mantoux intradermal tuberculosis skin test (PPD) within one year prior to school entrance. The skin test must be read and verified in writing within 48-72 hours by a qualified healthcare professional.

For parents’ convenience, in cooperation with the State Department of Health Services and the Fresno County Health Services Agency, CUSD’s Children’s Health Centers offer immunizations (at the locations listed below) during the school year for children’s immunizations that are not up-to-date.

In addition, for income-eligible families, children may qualify for a Child Health and Disability Prevention Program (CHDP) physical free of charge at the sites listed in the box. CHDP physicals are done by appointment only.
