District 303 Kindergarten Registration

The District 303 Kindergarten enrollment process for the 2021-2022 school year will be virtual. Between January 19 and March 12, families will be able to enroll their kindergarten-age children by visiting the Kindergarten Registration and Information page of the District 303 website. On the site you will find:


  • The New Student Intake Form should be completed first

  • A step by step guide to follow after submitting the Intake Form

  • An attendance boundary map

  • Health exam and immunization information

  • Pushcoin financial system information

  • Contact information for all elementary schools

Middle School Transfer Request Information

Families who wish to submit a Middle School Transfer request may do so beginning February 1, 2021. Families must complete a separate form for each student they want to be transferred. Requests are granted based on space available. This means that siblings are not guaranteed placement. A written decision will be communicated to families before spring break.

Once the request is approved, a student may remain at that middle school throughout his or her middle school career, as long as the student resides in District 303.


Families of students granted permission to attend a school outside of their assigned attendance area are responsible for their own transportation.

Students will return to their assigned attendance area high school regardless of the middle school attended.

The Middle School Transfer request window will close at 4:00pm on February 26, 2021.

If you have questions, please contact Tammy Marsan at: 331-228-2397.

Dress for the Weather

Please remember to send your child to school with a winter coat, hat, and gloves. As you know we go outside for 20 minutes each day for recess, and 30 minutes for PE class. Many classes also take quick outside snack breaks or "No Mask" breaks throughout the day.

If your family is in need of any winter wear, (Coats, Hats, Gloves) simply email Mr. Jarot nathan.jarot@d303.org or call the front office (331)228-3300. We have plenty of donated new items from our community. Just let us know.
