Kindergarten Registration & Screening

If your child will be five years of age by September 30, 2025, please call the K-2 Office to register for kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year. 

When you call, we will gather basic information about your son/daughter.  In addition, a screening appointment will be made for April 8-10.  During your 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. Here is the current link to our Central Registration:  Kindergarten Registration

Begin gathering the following paperwork for your 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 these legal documents before they can begin school in August.
