Kindergarten and first grade

A child who is not legally eligible to enter first grade may be assigned to first grade before age 6. The district makes this decision with the consent of the child’s parent or guardian.

Other grades

New students entering grades after first grade are initially placed at the grade level they reached at their previous school. Final grade placement is based on observations and testing by district personnel.
