To register for Kindergarten, a child must turn 5 on or before September 1 of the school year they begin attending. 

With some caveats, students are eligible for TK if they turn 4 by September 1 (of the year they attend).  Until full implementation in 2025-26, the state has defined elibility "tiers" based upon birthdates. Read below for more details.
