How old does my child need to be to enroll in Lexington One schools?
Four-year-old child development program
If your child will be four years old by Sept. 1, your child may be
eligible for the half-day four-year-old kindergarten program. You
must apply for the program at the elementary school your child would attend.
Five-year-old kindergarten
If your child will be five years old by Sept. 1, your child is eligible
for five-year-old kindergarten. You must register your child at the elementary
school he or she would attend.
If your child currently attends a four-year-old child development program
in Lexington County School District One, you still need to enroll your
child for five-year-old kindergarten.
First grade
If your child will be six years old by Sept. 1, your child is eligible
for first grade.
If your child currently attends five-year-old kindergarten in Lexington
County School District One, you do not need to enroll your child for first
grade. This is done automatically for you.
However, if your child currently attends a private five-year-old kindergarten,
you must register your child at the elementary school he or she would attend.
How do I enroll my child in a Lexington One school?
in order to register your child, please bring your child’s birth certificate and
a completed South Carolina Certificate of Immunization to the school for which
your child is zoned.
Also, for proof of residency, bring a current electric bill/statement showing
your name and home address within the district and your South Carolina driver’s
license or other photograph identification registered with the Department of
Motor Vehicles.
If you are are unable to produce any of the documents listed above, please
