Registration

Registering for Kindergarten:

All children entering Kindergarten must be five years of age by August 31, 2008 for the 2008-2009 school year. They also must have completed the three shot Hepatitis B vaccine series and received the chickenpox vaccine (if given before 1st birthday another dose is needed).

To register your child for school at Lakewood Elementary, you will need the following:

1. Your child's immunization record. Please note the Washington School Immunization Law: For the protection of every student, a new Washington school immunization law requires that each child be properly immunized in order to register for school. This must be done on or before the first day of school. School attendance will be denied to all students not in compliance with immunization law. For information, please call the school nurse (360) 652-4520.

2. Your child's birth certificate if you are registering the child for kindergarten. Also acceptable as proof of your child's birthdate are the commemorative certificate from the hospital or a baptismal certificate, as long as they have the child's name and date of birth.

3. Be sure to have all addresses and phone numbers. You will need two emergency contacts in addition to your home and work contact numbers. These emergency contacts will be used in cases of illness or other emergency when you cannot be reached. They should be people who can come and get your child if he or she is ill.

4. Proof of residency in Lakewood School District. This could include a PUD or other utility bill, or any other various forms of proof of residency.
