How will I know if my child is eligible for Kindergarten, and what are the dates to enroll?

Students who will be five years old on or before December 2, 2010, are eligible to enroll into public school in the San Juan Unified School District (SJUSD) for the 2010-2011 school year. Enrollment packets will be available at all school sites on January 4, 2010. Site placement requests for Mariemont Elementary will be Friday, January 8, 2010 between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm at San Juan Central, 3738 Walnut Avenue, Carmichael.  If you attend a site placement date you will be able to make an enrollment appointment that same day. If you do not attend your site placement date, booking for enrollment appointments will start on February 1, 2010. Kindergarten enrollment begins March 1, 2010 at San Juan Central. SJUSD will not schedule kindergarten enrollments until March because this allows the required physical to meet both kindergarten and first grade requirements.

What will I need to bring to the site placement request date?

A legal guardian will have to bring two documents to the site request date: a valid updated CA ID and an

original county issued birth certificate for the child. Please note we will not accept hospital issued birth

certificates.

How will I secure placement for my child after I attend the placement request date?

When you come to your school site placement date you will sign up and fill out a simple survey. Once the survey is completed you will turn it in to SJC and make an enrollment appointment. You will have until June 1,2010 to enroll your child in the SJUSD to secure your spot on the placement list.

Is there any priority given?

Families with siblings enrolled at the requested site for the 2010-2011 school year will be given priority.

Please note: Sibling priority is given to applicants who have a sibling currently enrolled at the requested school site who will continue to be enrolled in 2010-2011.

What will I need to enroll my child when I come to my enrollment appointment?
