Countdown to Kindergarten
- Enroll today! You can do this while you complete verification for your current student, and if you know someone who is new to the district, they can complete a new enrollment.
- Save the date for our Kindergarten Kickoff event, which will be in the evening on August 20th. You and your child will get a chance to get to know your new school and get excited for kindergarten! If you enroll now, your school will be able to send you their specific time and details for the evening when it gets closer.
- Save the date for the first day of school on Monday, August 24! We will do kindergarten readiness assessments after school starts to help us better meet your child’s educational needs.
