5. for grades one through three, repeat the grade the student was enrolled in the previous school year. *According to January 2021 enrollment data, roughly 24,000 kindergarten-aged students did not enroll in kindergarten during the 2020-21 school year For the 2021-2022 school year only, parents or guardians have the right to opt for their child—
