        2023-2024 Kindergarten Registration

        Upcoming Kindy Round Up events at each school this Spring provide all registered incoming students with an authentic kindergarten experience. This allows teachers, principals & assistant principals, and staff to get to know your child prior to the first day of school, and helps your child become familiar with their new school. 

        Kindy Round Up is reserved for fully registered incoming kindergarten children and their parents only. Your child's registration must be complete so that your family will be eligible to participate. 


        Please Note:

        • Active K-8 students currently enrolled are NOT required to re-register annually. Early Learners Pre-K students ARE required to register for Kindergarten.
        • Only students who reside within the District 109 boundaries are eligible to register; we cannot consider requests for enrollment from out-of-district residents.
        • Students in grades K-8 shall attend the school designated for their attendance area. (Board Policy 7:30) Please use the district's address finder linked below to confirm the school of enrollment for your home.

        • One (1) from this list:
          • Current Property Tax Bill
