The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District on Monday kicked off the enrollment period for new students for the upcoming school year as well as the prioritized phase of intra-district transfer requests.
Families with students entering transitional kindergarten and kindergarten as well as first-time LVJUSD students are encouraged to begin the enrollment process as soon as possible, district officials said in a statement announcing the enrollment and request periods.
As an opportunity for families of new elementary students to submit required enrollment documentation, meet principals and staff — including bilingual staff — and learn about programs and services available to students and families, LVJUSD is hosting its annual enrollment fair Jan. 28 and 29 from 1:30-5:30 p.m. at the Robert Livermore Community Center.
Representatives from child nutrition, health services, before- and after-school programs, health care partners and the Livermore Library are also set to attend the identical enrollment fairs to share information about their support services.
“Enrolling a child in school, especially for the very first time, can feel like a big step, and we want families to know they don’t have to navigate it alone,” LVJUSD director of student services Tracie Christmas said in a statement. “Our enrollment fair brings all of our resources and staff together in one place so parents and guardians can get their questions answered and feel confident in joining the LVJUSD community.”
Families who are unable to attend an enrollment fair may submit required documentation at their school of residence starting Feb. 2.
Also beginning Monday, families who want their student to attend an LVJUSD campus other than their school of residence can submit an intra-district transfer request on the district’s website. Requests received by Dec. 19 will be given priority.
Requesting students must be currently enrolled or have completed the new student enrollment form online. Bilingual resources for enrollment and intra-district transfer requests are available on the LVJUSD website. For more information, contact the district’s student services department at 925-960-2990.
