RRISD ~ NW Austin, Texas ~ Canyon Creek residents ~ Calling all Kindergartners for 2012-2013!

If you have a little one ready to start kindergarten in the Round Rock School District in the fall of 2012 don't forget to mark you calendars for registration the week of March 5-9, 2012.

Round Rock ISD Kindergarten Roundup

Any child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2012 and who lives in the Round Rock ISD is eligible to attend the districts full day kindergarten. If you have a child who is eligible, please go to your neighborhood elementary school anytime between 9am and 2pm on March 6 to register.

Canyon Creek residents be sure to register your students!

What Parents should bring to registration on March 6:

• Proof of residence within the district (contract on house, lease agreement, actual title to house or current RRISD tax statement)

• Child's official birth certificate

• Child's immunization record (see requirements)

• Child's social security card (preferred but will not prevent enrollment)

You should come to registration even if you do not have all of the above information.

Parents will be given notice of when these items are due.

Requirements for immunizations your child needs:

Your child will not be admitted to school unless (s)he has had immunizations for:

• DTP series - five doses, unless the fourth dose was received on or after the 4th birthday in which case only four doses are required.

• Polio - four doses, one of which must have been received on or after the 4th birthday. Or, if the third dose was administered on or after the 4th birthday only three doses are required. If any combination of four doses of OPV and IPV was received before four years of age no additional dose is required.

• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) - two doses of measles, mumps, rubella containing vaccine are required. The first dose must be administered on or after the 1st birthday and the second dose must be administered before entry into kindergarten.

• Hepatitis B - three doses of Hepatitis B are required.

• Hepatitis A - two doses

• Varicella - two doses of varicella vaccine received on or after the 1st birthday (if the child has NOT had chickenpox)

Some of the immunizations require three doses a few months apart; therefore, we advise you to begin them early and complete them in mid-August. Contact your family doctor or county health office for the immunizations. Immunization requirements may change so check the immunization website for updates.
