Under state law, a child must be 5 years old on or before September 1 to enter kindergarten. To enter first grade, a child must be 6 on or before  September 1, and must have attended kindergarten.

You should bring the following items to the school:

**Two documents showing proof of residence

• This may be a rental or lease agreement, utility bill, deed, sales agreement or property tax bill.

**Health records

• All kindergartners need a physical within the year before school starts. This exam must be on an official physical form showing a physician's review of all systems. The Florida form or a physician's personal form is acceptable. School nurses should be consulted if there is any question.
  The Department of Health Form 680 is the required immunization document. You can ask the staff at your doctor's office, clinic or the Alachua County Health Department to fill out the form for you. You will need to have your child's immunization record with you in order to obtain the form. You may also bring a copy of the official, documented immunizations which your child has received at his or her doctor's office to the school. School nurses cannot transcribe immunizations to an DH680 form.
