NEW FOR 2019-20! Students registering for kindergarten must be five years of age before August 1, 2019, to be enrolled for the 2019-20 school year. For the first year of this policy change, students who turn five years of age in August and seek admission to kindergarten shall take a kindergarten readiness assessment. If the student passes, they shall be granted admission to kindergarten. If the child does not pass the assessment, the parent may request a conference with the district’s superintendent to discuss the results as well as kindergarten expectations. This change to School Board Policy 201 was enacted in December 2018 and will take full effect in the 2020-21 school year. It can be reviewed online.
Kindergarten appointments are required. Please contact your child's school at the number below to schedule an appointment for any weekday during school hours.
After scheduling your appointment, please follow the step-by-step instructions below under the "How to Register A Student" heading.
The district held a forum for incoming kindergarten parents on Jan. 31. The presentation and readiness calendar given to attendees have been posted online on our Kindergarten Readiness site.
Please note that per School Board Policy 205, children who are not registered to attend school by June 1 may be assigned to a district school building outside of their attendance area.
