All children who turn five by September 1st.

There is no deadline to enroll students.  In the event that the home school is at capacity, students may be placed in another school within the district.

Kindergarten is a four and a half hour program. Students enroll in an AM or PM session.

All MVUSD elementary school sites.

MVUSD offers an extended day option with AM/PM sessions that coordinate with the Kindergarten schedule. This is available at all 11 elementary schools. The program is free or low cost for most families. Affordable tuition options are available.

If you are interested in an extended day option, there will be an opportunity to note that in the Kindergarten enrollment process. You will be contacted with next steps.

     Board Policy  5141.32:  The parent/guardian of a student enrolling in kindergarten shall submit a certification form (physical exam form) signed by the student's health examiner certifying that the student has completed a comprehensive health screening within 18 months prior to entry into first grade or within 90 days thereafter. (Health and Safety Code 124040, 124085)  

     If your physician’s office charges a fee to complete ‘outside’ forms, proof of the exam can be submitted on the physician’s form.   

     In lieu of the certification, the parent/guardian may submit a  waiver indicating that he/she does not want or is unable to obtain a health screening. If the waiver indicates that the parent/guardian was unable to obtain the services, the reasons should be included in the waiver. (Health and Safety Code 124085) Please email the school site administration for a waiver.

     Low income families may contact the Child Health and Disability Prevention Program for more information on assistance with getting a health exam for their future kindergarten student.
