| <p>News Release </p> | |
| </font><font FACE="Arial" SIZE="4"> | |
| <p>February is open enrollment month; register your kindergartner at your neighborhood | |
| school in March </p> | |
| </font></b> | |
| <p><strong>To locate your child's residence school, consult the <a | |
| href="http://www.wccusd.k12.ca.us/resdir.htm">Resident School Directory.</a></strong></p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Are you interested in having your child attend a school other than your | |
| neighborhood school? If so, you may apply for an intradistrict transfer through the month | |
| of February. Applications have been given to every 5<sup>th</sup>, 6<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> | |
| grade student in the District. You may also pick up an application from any school. </p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Mail your application to: WCCUSD Transfer Office, 157 - 9th Street, | |
| Room 108, Richmond, CA 94801, during the entire month of February. Or you can drop it off | |
| at the above address, except for the week of February 15-19, when the school district is | |
| closed for Winter Break. Completed applications are not accepted at the schools. </p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">School Board policy permits student transfers as long as there is space | |
| available at the requested school. Before approving any transfer, the Transfer Office must | |
| also determine that the transfer does not cause the requested school to become racially | |
| imbalanced. For more information, contact the WCCUSD Transfer Office at (510) 620-2273.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">March 1-31 is <b>kindergarten registration period</b> in the West | |
| Contra Costa Unified School District. If your child turns five years old on or before | |
| December 2, 1999, he or she is eligible to register for kindergarten at your local | |
| neighborhood school for next fall. The tentative date for the first day of school for the | |
| 1999-2000 school year is September 1, 1999.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Register your child at your neighborhood school (sometimes called the | |
| school of residence) from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon, or 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on school days during | |
| March. Call your neighborhood school for more information; expanded registration hours may | |
| be offered. Most schools will offer a.m. and p.m. kindergarten sessions; please indicate | |
| which session you prefer when you register.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">To register your child for kindergarten, bring the following papers to | |
| your neighborhood school: </p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">1. Proof of age, such as a birth certificate or baptismal record.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">2. Proof of immunizations.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">3. Proof of residence, such as a current PG&E bill. Telephone bills | |
| are not accepted as proof of residence.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Immunizations are available at the Richmond Public Health Department | |
| Immunization Clinic, which is located on the first floor at 39th Street and Bissell | |
| Avenue. The clinic is open 2:00-4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Immunizations are free | |
| for children 5 years old and younger.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">There is a $7 fee per child for children 6 or older; there is a family | |
| fee of $13 for immunizations for more than two children. TB tests are $10 per adult or | |
| child. Call (510) 374-3101 for more information.</p> | |
| <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The month of March is also the transfer period for children entering | |
| kindergarten. Fill out a transfer application at the same time you register your child and | |
| mail or bring the completed transfer application to the Transfer Office.</p> | |
