OR

✔ Demonstrate proof of completing kindergarten and promotion to first grade while being a resident of another state/country in compliance with the age and entrance requirements of that state/country.

Children who have attained the age of seven who do not meet the entrance requirements of Grade 2 will be assessed to determine if the student is developmentally ready for first or second grade.

Children in Nevada between the ages of six and 18 must be enrolled in and attend school for the entire time school is in session, pursuant to NRS 392.040.
