Registration

Registration times at Nimitz ES are on Monday-Friday @ 8:30am to 2:00pm

The following information is needed for children enrolling in the public schools of Hawaii for the first time:

1. Valid certificate of TB examination issued within 12 months prior to the first attendance at a Hawaii school.  

• Results must be in 00mm reading with date given, date read, and include Doctor signature. There are no exemptions to the TB clearance requirement.

2. Current Physical Exam (within one year of entry)

3. Completed Immunizations (Verified by Physician Record)

4. Proof of Residency (Housing/Lease Agreement)

5. Proof of Birth (Certificate, Passport, Baptismal Certificate)

6. Any legal documents regarding custody, power of attorney, etc. 

If your child has a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Program (IEP), it is important to have said documentation in hand when registering to ensure timely class placement of your child. 

If possible, the above requirements should be met at the time of enrollment.  However, should there be some difficulty in getting a doctor's appointment to complete the above, a doctor's statement or an appointment card for the next vaccination will suffice.

Only parents or legal guardians are permitted to complete and sign registration and other required school forms.

Students transferring to Admiral Chester W. Nimitz Elementary School from another local school must present a release card (F211) which is issued by the releasing school and their lease agreement.  Students transferring from a school out-of-state should, if available, present a release card to facilitate registration and placement.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION

On May 1, 2014, Gov. Abercrombie signed Senate Bill 2768 (Act 76), which makes kindergarten mandatory for children who will be at least 5 years of age on or before July 31 of the school year.

Children who are 5 years old by July 31 enroll in kindergarten for that school year. For example, children who are 5 years old by July 31, 2024 enroll in kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year. Children who turn 5 on August 1 or later enroll the following school year.

Bring all of the above items to the school office to register your child.  The office is open, for registration, from 8:00am to 2:00pm.

2. The release form will be sent home with your child on your child's last day.
