Kindergarten
To be eligible for Kindergarten, children must be at least five years old on or before December 2nd of the current school year. Parents are required to provide proof of the following immunizations: Polio, DPT, 2 doses of MMR, TB, Mantoux, Hepatitis B series, a Chicken Pox vaccine (Varicella) and a complete physical.First Grade
Children enrolling in First grade must be at least six years of age on or before December 2nd of the current school year. This rule may be waived under certain conditions. See the principal for details. Proof of a complete physical is required for all first graders.Proof of Age
Children enrolling in the Torrance Unified School District for the first time must provide evidence of the date of their birth when enrolling in kindergarten or first grade. Such evidence should be in the form of a birth certificate, baptismal record or passport. If the child has been enrolled in a public school before, a record of transfer or a report card will suffice.Proof of Residency
All new students must provide proof of address at the time of enrollment. We require two documents, which may include utility bills, automobile registration with current address, bank statements, a paycheck with your current address and/or government correspondence. If you move during the school year you must provide the school office with your current address and phone number, as well as, proof of residency at your new address.Permits
All permits are issued through the Torrance Unified School District Child Welfare and Attendance office at (310) 972-6090. Permits are granted for one school year or until the reason for qualification should become invalid. All information submitted on the application for a permit must be accurate and current. Permits are withdrawn immediately if the information is found to be incorrect. It is the expectation of our district that students attending Adams on a permit show evidence of satisfactory attendance, citizenship and effort.Transfers
If a change of address is anticipated which could result in your child changing schools, please notify the school secretary as soon as possible. State law requires your signature for the transfer of records. This will facilitate enrollment at your new school. Under some circumstances, students may obtain a permit to finish the school year at Adams. Contact the principal for specific information.If you have any questions regard admission to school, please contact the school office.
