Crown Point Community School Corporation is thrilled to welcome the future class of 2035! If your child will be five years old before August 1, 2022, and you live in the district boundaries, we invite you to pre-register for kindergarten starting February 10.
This year we will offer three different options for pre-registration: fully online, hybrid, or in-person. We encourage families who are new to their school or district to complete pre-registration via hybrid or in-person.

Get Ready for Kindergarten
Join our FREE kindergarten readiness program! Birth to School (BtS) is a free program for children who live within the district boundaries and will enter kindergarten in the Fall of 2022.
The program meets twice a month. Each hands-on class is an hour long and includes activities with basic literacy, math, social, and science skills. Caregivers stay with their children, and program leaders share activities that can be done at home to prepare for kindergarten.
To register or find more information, visit the Birth to School website at www.cps.k12.in.us/bts.
