*These are the full requirements for an August 2018 starting Transitional Kindergarten/Kindergarten student. Some doctors prefer not to give the final Polio, DPT & MMR until right before school starts. At the time of registration, we will accept an appointment card from the doctor's office stating the child will be given these immunizations before school starts. Immunization records must be up to date before the student may start school in August.

If you have any questions you may call the Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District Office at 916-770-8855.

School Health and Drug Prevention

The District has a Prevention/Wellness Advisory Committee that meets three times a year. The committee is comprised of teachers, administrators, parents, community members, law enforcement and health professionals. The task of the committee is to advise the school district on matters concerning the welfare and wellness of our students. Using data from the California Healthy Kids Survey the committee develops two-year goals for the district to ensure that all students will be educated in learning environments that are safe, drug free and conducive to learning.
