A child must be six (6) years of age on or before September 1 to attend first grade.

You can find more information on how to enroll your child on our Enrollment page.
Attendance
The Tahlequah Public School District believes there is a positive correlation between attendance and academic performance. A district attendance regulation defines guidelines for excused and unexcused absences and their documentation and student responsibilities for make-up work.
Child Nutrition
Breakfast and lunch are served at all elementary and secondary schools. Free and reduced price meals are provided for children whose family income meets federal guidelines (all families are encouraged to fill out the confidential form). More information can be found on our Child Nutrition page.
