Enrolling in Kindergarten

Prior to entry for the first time to any public kindergarten or to any public elementary school, a child must have a comprehensive physical exam by a qualified licensed physician; the scope of this examination is prescribed by the State Department of Health. Any transfer student enrolling in Lynchburg City schools for the first time from another state must have a comprehensive physical exam. The physical exam must have been completed within twelve months prior to enrollment. Admission of students without a physical examination is not allowed!!

Children who are five years old by September 30th are eligible to attend kindergarten.

Before a child may enter school, the parent or guardian is asked to provide the following records:

• The child’s state birth certificate
• The child’s current physical examination record (this record must be submitted before the child can be enrolled)
• The child’s immunization record
• The child’s social security number
