Kindergarten Registration and Screening Dates

If your child will be five years of age by September 30, 2024, please call the K-2 Office throughout the month of March to register for kindergarten for the 2024-25 school year. 

When you call, we will gather basic information about your son/daughter.  In addition, a screening appointment will be made for April 9, 10 or 11.  During your April appointment, you will bring your child to the school with you.  Our teachers will complete several assessments (vision, hearing, motor skills, academics, speech/language and play).

An appointment confirmation will be mailed to you along with instructions to complete our online registration.  If you do not complete the online registration at home, you will have time to do it while your child is being screened.

Begin gathering the following paperwork for your April visit:

  1. Official Birth Certificate
  2. Immunization Record
  3. Social Security Card (or Number)
  4. Custody Papers (if applicable)
  5. Proof of Residency (bill with your address)
NOTE:  You may still register your child and attend the screening without these documents.  However, we will need them before they can begin school in August.

Teacher Requests/Exemptions

It’s hard to believe that we are planning for next school year already, but we are!  We have a  “no request” policy for teachers.  This has worked well for our district and our classrooms are very well distributed based on boy/girl ratio, as well as behavior and academic needs of our children.  We will follow this same policy for the 2024-2025 school year.  If you have a teacher that you would like to exempt your child from having, please see the office secretary for a form or print one from our school website.  However, requests will not be accepted.

Other Important Information

Please check this website frequently for upcoming events and other important information.  The monthly newsletters can also be found under the ElemNews link on the left.  To spare copy costs, we will only print the August/September newsletter. The remainder will be located online.


If you would like to participate in our PTO, please plan to attend  our monthly meetings held on the second Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the elementary library.  All are welcome!
