Neenah Joint School District 4K Program
2019-20 School Year
Please note:
You will receive 4K Program information throughout the year, and it will come from "Washington School" as that is the home base school for the 4K program.
Those that attend Hoover and Wilson will also get information from the principal of that school. Students at A Child's Imagination (ACI) 4K will receive all of their school information from Washington School.
If you have any questions or need clarification about the 4K program, please send an email to njsd4k@neenah.k12.wi.us for the fastest response.
Thank you and we look forward to a wonderful school year with your 4K child!

4K Transportation Information
Transportation request forms were included with your child's placement letter and were initially due by August 2nd. We will continue to accept these forms, but if they are not in and processed by Friday, August 9, you are not guaranteed to have a bus route set up for your child for the first day of school.
Please remember that transportation TO the AM session has a radius policy to qualify. Your HOME address must be 2.0 miles or more away from your assigned 4K site (according to the most direct route as verified by Google Maps) in order for your child to get a route to school for the start of the AM session.
However, please note that ALL students qualify for transportation FROM the AM session and TO and FROM the PM session (as long as the address is in the NJSD boundaries; you did not ask for a Boundary Exemption; or you are not an Open Enrolled student).
You can download a copy of this form below as well as review the transportation handout.
Please fill out, scan, and email to njsd4k@neenah.k12.wi.us or fax to 920-751-6914. If you don't have scanner or fax access, please drop off at our Administration Building, 410 S. Commercial Street, from 8:00-4:30.
Please email any questions to njsd4k@neenah.k12.wi.us
4K School Supply List
Online Registration & School Fee Information
With families enrolling as early as February for the 4K program, we feel it's important to ensure information hasn't changed over the last few months. Sometimes people move, change phone numbers, change their place of employment, emergency contacts, etc and it's very important if we need to reach you quickly should your child become ill at school or communicate other important information to you effectively.
In addition to updating demographic information, students must have annual release agreements to use technology, go on field trips, have photos taken, etc. These releases are all included within the Online Registration.
Fees ($25.00/year for 4K) can also be paid through the "online payments" link in the red box in the upper right hand corner of the NJSD webpage.
If you need assistance completing this or haven't yet set up an account, please send an email to campus@neenah.k12.wi.us
If you do not complete the online registration and fee payment process, you will need to pay these fees during Open House. Please stop in the office for questions or assistance with this process.
