Enrollment
In order to enroll students:
·
Must have proof of immunizations before classes begin
·
Parents entering their children in a District School for the first
time must have identification, child's social security number, and
two forms of proof of address. Proof of child's identity can be

sales contract. Telephone bills, cable bills, and driver's license are
not accepted as proof of address.
·
All students who are transferring from another school district
require transcripts or report cards from the previous school.
Immunizations
Nevada law requires that children in kindergarten through grade
12 are current with their immunizations before they are allowed
to enter school. Parents/guardians are to bring immunization
records with them to school when they register their child.
A child will not be allowed to attend school without
documentation of immunizations. Exceptions are permitted for
"religious objections,"
which requires a letter from the parent or
guardian stating the religious objection, or for a medical
condition, which requires a letter from a health care provider.
For the new school year, students must be up to date with all
required immunizations. Students entering 7th grade also must
have the recently-mandated Tdap
vaccine which protects against
tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, or whooping cough.
Students new to Nevada are required to have immunizations for
hepatitis A and B, and varicella (chicken pox). If a child has had
chicken pox, the parent or guardian must sign a "Verification of
Disease"
form, which is available at each school. A second dose
of MMR is required for all kindergarten and first-grade students.
Contact the Clark County Health District at 383-1351 for more
information.
