Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten Registration Begins February 3, 2020.

Many of our schools fill their Kindergarten classes quickly. It is imperative that parents enroll as soon as possible to ensure a spot for your child at your school.

Kindergarten is available for students who turn 5 years old on or before September 1st.
