If you have a child that is five years old or will be five years old by August 1, 2024, please mark your calendar and plan to attend kindergarten registration at the elementary school your child will be attending.

A parent or guardian will need to bring the following documents to kindergarten registration:

telephone bill, etc.) A driver’s license is not acceptable proof of residency.

It is important to register in March and plan for the upcoming school year. Please plan to attend kindergarten registration on Wednesday, March 6, 4:00 – 7:00 PM and Thursday or March 14, 12:00 – 7:00 PM.
