We must also have a birth certificate and a social security number for each child entering kinder^ garten.

All of these items must be turned in for the student to start school on the first day of classes.

If your child is a new student coming from another county in Virginia please make sure that all of the above information for your child is turned in to the main office of the school that your child will be attending.

If you are enrolling from another state, please have a current Virginia state physical done for your child.
