File:  JF - SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

All children of school age who reside in the town will be entitled to attend the public schools, as will certain children who do not reside in the town but who are admitted under School Committee pol-icies relating to nonresident students or by specific action of the School Committee.

Advance registration for prospective kindergarten students will take place in the spring.  Every student seeking admission to school for the first time must present a birth certificate or equivalent proof of age acceptable to the Principal and proof of vaccination and immun-izations as required by the state and the School Committee.  Proof of residency of legal guardianship may also be required by the school administration.
