Retention Requests

SB 1697 enacted a Parental Option for Student Retention, which allows parents or guardians to opt to have their child repeat prekindergarten;

• enroll in prekindergarten if the child was eligible to enroll in prekindergarten in the previous school year and has not yet enrolled in kindergarten;
• repeat kindergarten;
• enroll in kindergarten if the child would have enrolled in kindergarten in the previous school year and has no yet enrolled in first grade;
• for grades one through three, repeat the grade the student was enrolled in the previous school year;

If you are interested in requesting Student Retention, you must complete this form. All requests must be submitted prior to 4:00 p.m. on August 1.

Process

1. Parent/Guardian and student decide that repeating an allowed course or grade level is appropriate for the student.
