Registration Fast Facts
- To register a student in a Mesa school for the first time, you'll need a certified copy of the student's birth certificate, current immunization record, and proof of residency. (Drivers License is not valid)
For proof of residency you may use: 
* Rent receipt
* Utility invoice
* Motor vehicle registration
* Housing contract, lease agreement
* State income tax return
* Bank account, pay check, etc.
* Employer letter on letterhead
All parents will be asked to fill out a registration form and an emergency medical referral card.
- Children who turn 5 before September 1st may register for kindergarten.
Patterson offers free, full-day kindergarten. We also have a half-day program. Check with the school office for details.
Parents of children reaching the age of 5 between Sept. 1st and Dec. 31st may request that their child be assessed for early admission to regular kindergarten, if they believe it is in their child's best interest. Contact our office for specific information or access the following link: Kindergarten Early Admission Packet (English) (Spanish)
Children will be enrolled where space is available.
Arizona law requires documentary proof of immunity against certain childhood diseases for students entering Arizona schools for the first time. With some exceptions, students subject to this requirement who lack documentary proof may enroll but not attend school until proof is provided. If your child falls into this category, more detailed information is available at the school.
Immunizations are available from family physicians or pediatricians. Call the Maricopa County Health Department's hotline at 602-263-8856 for locations and times available. ImmunizationRequirements&FreeClinics are listed on the Health Services Web page.
- Under Arizona's open enrollment policy, you may register your child at a school outside your regular attendance area. Guidelines and forms are available online and in school offices
