Central Valley

Students return to school Sept. 7.

Beginning Tuesday, elementary and middle school offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for registration.

Kindergarten students from Greenacres and Liberty Lake elementary schools need to register at the new Central Valley Kindergarten Center at 1512 N. Barker Road.

Kindergarten students must be 5 on or before Aug. 31. First-graders must be 6 on or before Aug. 31 unless they have previously attended a public or accredited private kindergarten.

Parents need to bring current immunization records; a state-certified birth certificate (official document, not souvenir certificate from a hospital); and proof of residence – address verified by a copy of a current utility bill.

Registration isn’t complete until all immunizations are complete and space can’t be held for students with incomplete immunizations.
