Frequently Asked Questions about Kindergarten What time are classes? Kindergarten runs on the district’s elementary schedule, which is from 8:30 a.m. – 3:10 p.m. Can my child start school if his/her immunization records are not turned in? No. In accordance with Minnesota State law, all required immunizations must be completed by the first day of school. Parents may get a legal exemption for medical reasons or conscientiously held beliefs. For more information, call your doctor/clinic. Where can I get low-cost immunizations? Low-cost immunizations are available through the Dakota County Public Health program. The suggested cost for each vaccination is $14, but no one who qualifies for vaccinations will be turned away if they are unable to pay the cost. Please call Dakota County Public Health at 952-891-7999 for more information. What do I have to do if my child needs to take medication at school? Any student taking medication at school must have written parent and physician permission and the medication must be in a pharmacy-labeled container. Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container. Medication forms can be obtained from any school health office or on the district website at www.isd199.org/departments/health_services/medication. What if I cannot locate my child’s birth certificate? County offices can provide a copy of your child’s birth certificate for a fee.
