In order to register your child or children in Oklahoma public schools, you will need to bring the following information and documentation: Certified stamped-seal birth certificate and social security card for the child, custody papers if applicable, proof of residency, and health history forms. Residency proof can take the form of a recent utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or other legal documentation received within the last 60 days.

Kindergarten attendance and kindergarten screening are required in Oklahoma. Children must be at least five years of age on or before September 30th of the enrollment year in order to register. You will need a physician-signed immunization record indicating doses and dates. Other important documents include transcripts from the previous school attended or the name and address for ordering past records as well as the contact information for your child-care provider.
