Under the McKinney-Vento Act, homeless students are entitled to immediate enrollment and full participation in school even if they are unable to produce records normally required for enrollment.

All students may attend their designated neighborhood school without consideration of enrollment capacity. Students who wish to attend a school other than their resident school may submit an Open Enrollment Application online during the early enrollment period, November 15th through the first Friday in February, for the upcoming school year. A student may also request a late enrollment transfer by submitting the same online application at any other time of year. 

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

Children must be 5 years old on or before September 1 to enroll for kindergarten. (Utah Code 53G-4-401) Additionally, with the passing of HB 331, students are required to be toilet trained before being enrolled in kindergarten. All kindergartens in SLCSD are full-day programs. However, families can choose to register for a half-day option.

Full-day kindergarten: Students attending full-day kindergarten will follow a schedule equivalent to the other grades in the school. They will receive comprehensive instruction on the state-approved standards in all content areas, including the arts, PE, and library.

Half-day kindergarten: Students attending either a half-day kindergarten class or a half-day kindergarten option within a full-day kindergarten class will attend school for part of the day as determined by individual schools and will receive instruction that prioritizes the state-approved standards for the content areas of English language arts and mathematics as required by R277-730. Please note that midday transportation will not be provided for those attending half-day kindergarten options.

Kindergarten registration will continue throughout the year, but priority registration for kindergarten will end on August 12, 2024.
