Kindergarten registration for the Auburn School District’s 2019-20 school year has begun. Parents are encouraged to register their five-year-old child (those who will be age five by August 31) as soon as possible. Early registration will help us plan effectively, have sufficient staff, and create a smooth introduction for students entering kindergarten. Elementary schools are open for registration between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday.

At the time of registration, please bring your child’s official birth certificate. In accordance with State law, parents must present up-to-date immunization information before registering their child(ren) in school. Please contact your elementary school office manager for an updated list of required immunizations, which includes:

• MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) – 2 doses
• DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) – 5 doses (4 doses only IF 4 th dose given on or after 4 th birthday)
• Tdap (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) - Not required Kindergarten - 5th grade | 1 dose Tdap if 11 years of age or older
