Getting Ready for Kindergarten
Parents have questions about preparing their children for Kindergarten...here
are many of the questions and the answers that we give!
Where can I find out more about the physical examinations for
entering Kindergarten?
All children attending an Alaska school (including preschool)
MUST be immunized against hepatitis A and hepatitis
B. Any child who lacks proof of hepatitis A and B shots
or a valid exemption
will be excluded from school. Click
here for more information about immunization requirements.
Once your child's shot record has been updated, be sure
the district gets a copy. Send or fax a copy to our
Health Services
Program and bring a copy to your school when you register
your child.
To register, you will need the following
health forms:
Form 301 -- Health History
For all students -- preschool, kindergarten, returning,
new to ASD, and transfer students
Form 318 -- Physical Examination for School Entry
For kindergarten students
