2009-2010 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION IN THE MORAGA SCHOOLS
Registration of students entering kindergarten for the 2009-2010 school year will be held on Thurs.,
Mar. 5 and Fri., Mar. 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Los Perales and Rheem Schools, and from
9:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m./1:15 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Camino Pablo School. To register incoming
kindergarten students, parents/guardians must go to the school their child will attend in the
2009-2010 school year.
To be eligible for kindergarten, a child must be 4 years and 9 months of age as of Sept. 1, 2009. This
means that a child must have been born on or before December 2, 2004. It is important that
parents/guardians register every eligible child for kindergarten at this time, as it will be of great
assistance in planning staffing and class sizes for the next school year. Please pass this information on
if you have acquaintances with kindergarten age children who do not have children already in school.
The following process will be followed if enrollment exceeds anticipated capacity: students registered on
Mar. 5 & 6 with siblings currently in school will receive priority; all remaining non-sibling students will be
prioritized by lottery to be considered for redirection to another school in the Moraga School District.
There is no benefit to parents/guardians in registering during any particular time over the two-day
registration period. Should the lottery be necessary, students registered after Mar. 5 & 6 will not be part
of the lottery process and will be redirected.
