Registration/Enrollment
Per California Health and Safety Code, Sections 120325-120375, the requirements for pre-enrollment into NeaCLC for Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten are listed below and more information is available on the California Department of Public Health website Shots for School.
School Entry Health Exam (Kindergarten)
School health exam requirements are specified in the California Health and Safety Code: California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 432. Your child's health exam should include:
- Health and developmental history
- Unclothed, complete physical examination
- Oral health assessment
- Nutrition assessment
- Vaccinations, appropriate for age
- Vision screening
- Hearing screening
- Screening for anemia, lead, urine abnormalities, tuberculosis, etc.
- Health education and anticipatory guidance
The School Entry Health Exam is intended to detect problems that may interfere with effective learning. Early identification and treatment are important because an undetected health problem can hamper your child's progress in school.
California Law requires that the Health Examination for School Entry be completed sometime between 18 months before entering first grade and 3 months after entering into first grade.
Nea collects the Report of Health Examination for School Entry form as part of the kindergarten enrollment process along with required vaccination records.
School Entry Dental Exam (Kindergarten)
The School Entry Dental Exam is intended to detect problems that may interfere with effective learning. Children need good oral health to eat properly, talk, smile, and feel good about themselves. Children with cavities may have difficulty eating and have problems paying attention and learning at school. Cavities are preventable, but they affect more children than any other chronic disease.
California Law requires that the Oral Health Assessment for School Entry be completed by May 31 of the kindergarten year, or within 12 months before your child starts school. (If you cannot fulfill this requirement, please indicate the reason in Section 3 of the form).
Nea collects the Oral Health Assessment/Waiver Request form as part of the kindergarten enrollment process.
Charter School Complaint Notice and Form
Charter schools are not allowed to discourage a pupil from enrolling or seeking to enroll in the charter school because the pupil exhibits any characteristics such as students with disabilities, academically low-achieving, English learners, neglected or delinquent, homeless, socially economically disadvantaged, foster youth, or based on nationality, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Charter schools are not allowed to request a pupil's records before enrollment or encourage a child who is enrolled in a charter school to disenroll or transfer to another school. A parent, guardian, or pupil (18 years or older) may file a Charter School Complaint Form to the authorizing entity if they suspect the charter school is in violation of Education Code Section 47605(d)(4).
