Student Criteria for Early Entrance:
- To be considered for early entrance students must turn 5 years old between September 2 and October 1 for Kindergarten or turn 6 years old between September 2 and October 1 for first grade.
- Requests for early entrance screening will not be accepted after October 1.
- Students under school age were previously enrolled in programs outside of the District (i.e. home schooling, a private correspondence program or a private school) must meet the early entrance criteria before they will be enrolled.
- To be admitted through early entrance procedures, as itemized in E 5111(d) Early Entrance Approval Checklist, the child must pass an early entry screening and demonstrate intelligence falling within the superior range.
- If the child meets the criteria for early entrance and is enrolled in kindergarten, it is important that parents and staff recognize that it is still a provisional placement. The parent and staff should re-evaluate within two weeks and again in a month to see if the child is making the transition smoothly.
