Enrollment Info: New Students
Who is A New Student?
Your student is considered a "new" student for 2020-21 if:
- They were not enrolled in an LESD school during the 2019-20 school year
OR
- They are transitioning from preschool to kindergarten
If your student is currently enrolled in an LESD school, visit the Enrollment Info for Returning Students page.
If your student is too young to qualify for Transitional Kindergarten, they may qualify for State Preschool.
See age requirements for all early education programs here.

If you only provide one of the documents listed above you must complete and sign an Affidavit of residency.
You must also submit an Affidavit of Residency if you only have the following proofs with parent or legal guardian’s address within the school district:
