Will your child enter kindergarten in the fall? If so, you'll want to circle April 11 on your calendar.
On that day, Henrico County Public Schools will join with 14 other Central Virginia school divisions to register new students for the 2019-20 school year. To enroll a child in Henrico County Public Schools, the child must reside in Henrico County with a parent or court-appointed legal custodian and be five years old by Sept. 30.
Registration events will be held at every Henrico County public school that offers kindergarten April 11 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Children should be registered at the school they will attend. If you're not sure which school that is, visit http://henricoschools.us/school-locator/.
Parents or guardians should bring the following items to the registration event:
• an official state-issued birth certificate for the child;
• a photo ID for the child’s parent or legal guardian (driver’s license, DMV ID, military ID or other picture ID);
• proof of residency (you must provide a current lease agreement, house contract, mortgage statement or tax assessment; and a utility bill dated within the past 30 days).
If you are living “doubled” with another person or family, the homeowner or primary renter must accompany you to school to register the child. Certain verification and forms also are needed from the parent or legal guardian, as well as from the homeowner or primary renter.
The parent or guardian living in a "doubled" household must provide:
• a notarized affidavit of address, completed in conjunction with the homeowner or primary renter (the document is available from each school);
• two pieces of business correspondence with the parent or guardian's name at the address they are verifying as their home;
• a valid photo ID.
In addition to completing the notarized affidavit with the parent or guardian, the homeowner or primary renter must provide:
• a current deed or lease;
• a current utility bill (dated within the past 30 days);
• a valid photo ID.
Before the school year starts, you will need to present:
• an up-to-date record of your child’s immunizations;
• physical exam form signed by a qualified U.S.-licensed health care provider and dated no more than 12 months before the enrollment date. The form can be downloaded at http://henricoschools.us/registration/.
