Kindergarten Roundup announced for April 6

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Union Elementary School District (FUESD) invites all incoming kindergarten students, for the 2016-2017 school year, to attend a 'Roundup' on Wednesday, April 6.

Starting at 9 a.m. that day, the following school sites will host informational get-togethers: Fallbrook Street School, Fallbrook Homeschool Academy, La Paloma Elementary School, Live Oak Elementary School, William H. Frazier Elementary School, Mary Fay Pendleton School and San Onofre School.

Parents interested in Maie Ellis Elementary School, the FUESD dual language campus, may choose to attend that informational meeting instead of their school of residence.

At each location, parents and their children will meet the principal and tour the school. Registration packets will be available at that time. To be eligible for kindergarten, a child must be five years old on or before Sept. 1. A child is eligible for transitional kindergarten if his or her fifth birthday falls between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2.

There are new immunization requirements for 2016. Under a new law known as SB 277, which was effective Jan. 1, exemptions based on personal beliefs, including religious beliefs, are no longer an option for the vaccines that are currently required for entry into school in California.
