[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The policy is just that you have to send your child by age 6. You can send them to either K or 1st. Kindergarten is optional in VA. You can choose to skip it entirely, or you can send your 4 (about to turn 5), 5, or 6 year old.

[b]The note above about letting the school know would only apply to students already in the school system[/b]. If you're a new family, just don't register for K.[/quote]

No, state law says nothing about the notification requirement only applying to students already in the school system.  From Code of Virginia § 22.1-254 [emphasis mine]:

[i]Further, [b]any child[/b] who will not have reached his sixth birthday on or before September 30 of each school year [b]whose parent or guardian notifies the appropriate school board that he does not wish the child to attend school until the following year[/b] because the child, in the opinion of the parent or guardian, is not mentally, physically, or emotionally prepared to attend school, [b]may delay the child's attendance for one year[/b].
