The Millard School District has detailed its requirements for student eligibility and admissions, covering preschool enrollment through kindergarten entry. The updated policy outlines specific age and documentation criteria for various student populations within the district.
Preschool Enrollment Criteria
For preschool enrollment, children aged three or older may enter if they have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) that requires it. Students without an IEP who turn four years old before September 2nd are eligible to enter preschool as tuition-paying students on a space-available basis.
Tuition Student Selection Process
The district will determine the number of tuition-paying preschool students accepted annually based on available openings in preschool sections. The superintendent is tasked with developing a consistent method for selecting applicants if the number of requests exceeds available spaces.
Kindergarten Age and Documentation
For kindergarten, any child who turns five years old before September 2nd may enroll after providing a birth certificate or other acceptable evidence of identity and proof of proper immunizations or a justifiable waiver. While medical and dental examinations are recommended, they are not listed as mandatory requirements for entry.
Establishing Student Residency Methods
The policy also defines various methods for establishing student residency within the district. Residency can be established through recognized agreements with other districts, such as students from the Tintic School District attending Delta High School. Additionally, student athletes or extracurricular participants may attend Millard School District secondary schools in accordance with UHSAA guidelines if their home school does not offer specific programs.
Residency for Minors in Utah
For minors whose custodial parent resides in Utah, residency is determined by where the parent or child resides, including specific provisions for children under the supervision of state agencies, private placement agencies, or those living with a responsible adult resident under a durable power of attorney.
Alternative District Residency Requests
The district maintains procedures for alternative district residency requests, where a parent may request that the district be considered the student's alternative district of residency if it is shown to best serve the child's health and well-being. Such requests are reviewed by the District Superintendent and the Board of Education.
