School district offers July 30 enrollment fair

The San Bernardino City Unified School District is offering online enrollment for kindergarten and transitional kindergarten for the 2022-23 school year, which starts Aug. 1.

Families may also enroll kindergartners at the district’s inperson enrollment fair 8:30 a.m.1:30 p.m. July 30 at Jones Elementary School, 700 N. F St.

Children who will be 5 years old by Sept. 1 are eligible to enroll in kindergarten for the 2022— 23 school year. Transitional kindergarten is available for students who will turn 5 years old between Sept. 2 and Feb. 2.

For online enrollment, go to sbcusd.com and click on Parent Resources and then Enrollment.

In addition to completing an online enrollment packet, parents and guardians will need several documents to register their child for school. These are the child’s birth verification (i.e. birth certificate, hospital certificate, baptismal certificate), child’s immunization record, parent or guardian photo identification and address verification (i.e. utility bill lease/ rental agreement or affidavit from landlord).

Children who have some, but not all, of their required vaccinations may still be eligible to enroll as long as required immunizations are completed before the first day of school, Aug. 1, according to a news release.

“Programs such as transitional kindergarten (TK) and kindergarten are essential,” Amy Coker, San Bernardino City Unified School

District’s director of elementary instruction, said in the news release. “In kindergarten, students learn fundamental skills in reading and math in fun and engaging ways that set the stage for future learning.”

At the July 30 enrollment fair, school district staff will also be able to assist families in enrolling students from first grade through high school.
