The step-by-step kindergarten enrollment process is detailed below. Registration is limited to residents of Ross Township and the West View Borough.

To begin the enrollment process as detailed below, students must be five (5) years old before August 1.

Parents/guardians with students who turn five (5) years old in August or September and seek admission to kindergarten that year must call the school. Do not register online and do not schedule a registration appointment.

• Students who turn five (5) years old in August must take and pass the district's readiness assessment.
• Students who turn five (5) years old in September must take and pass the district's readiness assessment and participate in a psychological assessment. See the complete school board policy on admission of students (No. 201).

Families are encouraged to register their kindergartner as soon as possible. Per the school board's policy on class size (No. 202), children who are not registered to attend school by June 1 may be assigned to a district school building outside of their attendance area.
