The Board shall establish
age requirements for the admission of beginners which are consistent
with statute and sound educational practice and which ensure the
equitable treatment of all eligible children.
Beginners
Beginners are children entering the lowest grade of the primary
school above the kindergarten level. They shall be admitted to
school only during the first two (2) weeks of the annual school term
except that a child who is eight (8) years of age may begin school at
any time during the school year.
A beginner is eligible for admission to the lowest grade of the primary
school above the kindergarten level if she/he has attained the age of
six (6) years before the first day of September.
The Board may, on the written request of the parent or guardian, admit
as a beginner a child whose chronological age is not less than five (5)
years but whose mental age is seven (7) years, when so recommended by a
school psychologist and approved by the Superintendent.
Kindergarten
A child is eligible for admission to kindergarten if she/he has
attained the age of five (5) years before the admission date of entry to
kindergarten.
The Superintendent shall require that each child who registers for
entrance to school exhibit one of the following instruments to verify
the age of a child:
1. A legal birth certificate.
2. A baptismal certificate indicating date of birth, together with
a notarized statement from the parent/guardian attesting to the accuracy
of the certificate.
3. A certified copy of entrance into the United States showing the
date of birth of the child, along with a notarized statement from the
parent/guardian.
4. Such other evidence as the family Bible record, insurance
policy or previous school record showing date of birth of the child,
along with the sworn notarized statement from parent/guardian.
5. If none of the above are available, an affidavit of age sworn
by the parent/guardian and accompanied by a certificate of age from a
public health officer or public school physician, or in their absence, a
licensed practicing physician in the county. |
