Public School Registration
According to the Utah State Legislature, children must be at least five years old by September 1st of the enrollment year in order to register for kindergarten. Parents or guardians are asked to bring the child’s birth certificate, Social Security number, proof of address, two names and phone numbers for emergency contacts, and the child’s immunization chart when they arrive to register. Proof of guardianship will be necessary if applicable, and previous transcripts or contact information for previous schools attended will be helpful.

Utah law requires that all public school students comply with immunization requirements or provide an acceptable exemption statement. This immunization history must take the form of a physician’s signed certification. A grace period of 15 days is allowed if immunizations are incomplete at the time of enrollment.

Charter Schools
Charter schools provide additional educational alternatives with the goal of quality outcomes for students and parents. These schools enjoy greater freedom in curriculum and structure than traditional public schools. At the same time, they are open to all students and operate on public funds without tuition.

Accountability
Utah public school districts are required to publish an annual report card that offers comprehensive updates including test scores. Contact your local district for details on obtaining this report card. Parents can also explore a wealth of information about testing and test scores on the Utah State Office of Education website.
