Kindergarten Registration
Do you have a child who will be starting kindergarten in August 2026? We are excited to share that kindergarten registration will begin on Jan. 28. We encourage you to visit our Welcome to Kindergarten website now, to familiarize yourself with the process and begin gathering needed documentation. We also ask for your help in spreading the word about kindergarten registration. If you know of a child who will be 5 years old by September 1, 2026, please encourage the family to save the date and visit our website. The sooner students enroll, the sooner District 54 will know how many kindergarten teachers we need to best serve our kindergarten class of 2026-27.
