c) Immunization Records: Records must be originals, stamped by the doctor's office. The school will make a copy to keep on file, with originals returned to the parent. Parents/guardians must present proof that immunizations required by California law have been completed before registration can be finalized. Visit Immunizations for School for information on required immunizations and the process for a medical exemption.
d) Physical Exam Requirement for Kindergarten Students: All children need a health check-up before enrollment in kindergarten. California law requires children have a physical exam (health check-up) by first grade. Savanna School District requires the physical exam be completed before kindergarten entry and it will be one of the items requested as part of the enrollment process. The physical exam may be free to those who qualify through the CHDP (Child Health and Disability Prevention) program. For information call 1-800-564-8448. Parents/guardians who do not wish to obtain a physical examination for their child must sign a waiver. Click here to download a copy of the form. Click here for a copy of the waiver form
e) Oral Health Assessment for Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten Students
California law (Education Code Section 49452.8) requires that students entering the first year of public school have a dental check-up. Any dental examination completed up to 12 months before the start of transitional kindergarten or kindergarten (whichever is the first year of public school) will also meet this requirement. The Oral Health Assessment form should be turned into the school as soon as possible. Parents/guardians who do not wish to obtain the oral health exam for their child must sign the waiver that is available from our district nurse.

Frequently asked questions 
Which Savanna School District school should my child attend?
Your home school is based on your residence address. If you are not sure which school is your home school, please click here for a map. If you need assistance, please contact the District Office at (714) 236-3800.
I want my child to attend a school other than our school of residence. How do I enroll?
Visit your school of residence to pick up an intra-district transfer request form. Enrollment priority is given first to children who live within the school's boundaries and then to siblings of students already enrolled. Thereafter, transfers are based on space availability. More information regarding intra-district transfers is available on the Student Transfer page.
We don’t live in Savanna School District, but I want my child to attend one of the District’s schools. How do I enroll?
Visit the school district in which you live and request an inter-district transfer to release your child. Submit the signed release as soon as possible to the school principal of the school you would like your child to attend. Enrollment of incoming transfer students is based on space availability. Decisions on incoming inter-district transfer requests will be provided by the site principal of the school you want your child to attend. While some requests may be approved within thirty days of the application, some applications may not be approved until after the first week of school in order to determine space availability in specific grade levels at sites. More information regarding inter-district transfers is available on the Student Transfer page.
Where can I get more detailed information about the school district or a particular school?
District and school information is available on our websites. You can also find pertinent school information on the School Accountability Report Cards, which are posted on the School Report Card tab on each school’s website. You may also contact your school of residence regarding upcoming orientation meetings, school tours, and Open House events.
