Those receiving the applications can save time by applying online! Please read the documents sent to you very carefully, and determine if you want to apply online mail it back to us, or bring it to one of our offices in person. This is a nine week application period. There is no need to stand in long lines the first few days since you have nine weeks to submit the application. All applications are processed as a group.

Parents of children who will be five on or before September 1st 2020 and who are not enrolled in one of the district’s Pre-K programs must visit one of our offices to register for kindergarten for the 2020/2021 school year (bring registration requirements). This should be done during the first application period (January 13 - February 28) to increase the chances of being assigned to your preferred school. Brand new students cannot apply online, they must be registered in person.

There are no automatic assignments, parents need to register incoming kindergartners even if they have an older sibling already attending the preferred school.
