Everything You Need To Know About Kindergarten Registration for Lakeland

SHRUB OAK, NY—Parents registering their children for kindergarten in Lakeland Central School District will need some documents on hand. If your child is eligible for enrollment in Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Lincoln-Titus, Thomas Jefferson or Van Cortlandtville elementary schools, here's what you need to know.

Parents enrolling children at any of these schools will need a few documents.

New York State law requires that all incoming kindergarten students have a physical and a dental health exam before entering school. Parents must supply a certificate stamped by a doctor, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner describing the student's physical condition. A current immunization record or proof of exemption must also be submitted.

Parents should provide their child's birth certificate to prove the child's age. To prove the guardian's identity, a valid, government-issued driver or non-driver ID card can be presented. If applicable, produce proof of guardianship. Proof of residency is required and could include a tax bill, driver's license, utility bill, paycheck stub or tax return, among other items.
