By Georgia law, children must be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 to enter pre-K, 5 years old to enter kindergarten, and 6 years old to enter the first grade. In order to enroll/register new students in pre-K and kindergarten, parents need to present the child’s birth certificate, Social Security card, immunization form 3231 and proof of residence (mortgage or lease agreement). A picture ID of parent or guardian is also required for pre-K registration. To enroll/register for grades 1-5, parents need to present proof of residence, name and address of previous school attended (if applicable).
