Students who do not reside within the boundaries of the district must be approved by the administration and board each year in order to continue attending any of the attendance centers within the districts.
At the end of each school term teachers and building principals are asked to make recommendations on non-resident students to help determine whether or not a student shall be admitted the following year. The student's conduct, attitude and effort are the main items considered when applications are being reviewed for the following year.

- A child must be 6 years of age on or before August 31 of the current year to enter the first grade.
Entrance Requirements

- A certified copy of the birth certificate of the child, or
- As an alternative for the child in the custody of the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services, a certified copy of the court order placing the child in the custody of the secretary.
