Registration for Kindergarten or First Grade. Age Requirements. To enter kindergarten in the 2016-17 school year, your child must be five years old on or before August 31. For Grade 1, your child must be six years old on or before August 31. You will need to show a birth certificate for your child (or a similar document, such as a passport, that shows birthdate).
Districts vary on when they begin taking sign-ups for kindergarten. Most begin pre-registration in early spring for the following fall. The number of hours your child will spend in school each day varies from district to district, although the state requires that students complete a minimum number of hours per year.
