Birth Certificate 

No child shall be eligible for entrance into The Lexington School without presentation of a Certificate of Live Birth (copies are fine) issued by the state or country of birth. Hospital records (generally with the name of the hospital and footprints or designs) are recognized as heirlooms but not legal documents. If the legal name on the certificate does not match the name your child currently uses (nicknames excluded), it is essential the amended birth certificate is part of the permanent record also.
