For the 2012-13 school year, children enrolling in kindergarten must be five years old on or before August 1, 2012 unless granted an early admission waiver by the superintendent of schools. A birth certificate, not a hospital certificate, must be presented at registration. Indiana Public Law 50 mandates that all elementary school children have their immunizations up to date before entering school on August 22.

For information about the minimum immunization requirements, visit the Duneland School Corporation Health Services site.
Parents of all students should review their child's immunization record now to make sure that they are up to date with immunization requirements prior to entering school.

 

Please contact your physician to update your child's immunization status or call the local health department. The Porter County Health Department conducts immunizations BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. For more information contact 465-3525.

 

Proof of Residency Requirements

 

Proof of Residency (i.e. legal settlement) is required for all NEW students and any student whose residence within the district has changed since they last enrolled in school. Acceptable documentation of legal settlement must include the student and parent/guardian's current address on a valid rental/mortgage agreement AND one additional document, such as a current payroll stub, a valid voter's registration card, copies of current monthly utility bills or a valid government issued ID.
