Frequently Asked Questions about Registration at a CCSD school
What documents do I need to take with me when I register?
• Personal identification of parent/guardian (driver's license, picture identification, etc.) bearing your name.
• Proof of the child's identity, such as the original birth certificate, a passport or a certified birth card issued by a health district. Photocopies not accepted. This is for students who are coming from out of state.
• Up-to-date medical records indicating that your child has had, or at least started, the following series of immunizations:
-Four DPT shots (but one more if last dose was given before 4th birthday).
-Three polio doses (but one more if last dose was given before 4th birthday).
-Two MMR shots (one dose must be given on or after the 1st birthday).
What if my child has never attended a school in Nevada?
• Two Hepatitis A shots (2nd dose must be given at least 6 months after the 1st dose).
• Three Hepatitis B shots (must have a minimum of 4 months between 1st and 3rd dose).
• One (1) Chicken pox (Varicella) shot (must be given at 12 months of age or older). Physician verification required if student has had the chicken pox disease.
Note:
A child enrolling in seventh grade after June 30, 2008 is required to have the Bordetella Pertussis vaccine ("Tdap"). The child must receive at least one dose of a Bordetella pertussis-containing vaccine after age 10.
Is there an age waiver for students from other states?
A child who becomes a resident of this State after completing kindergarten or beginning first grade in another state in accordance with the laws of that state may be admitted to the grade he was attending or would be attending had he remained a resident of the other state regardless of his age, unless the board of trustees of the school district determines that the requirements of this section are being deliberately circumvented.
