Our Kindergarten Registration Week, January 15 to 19, is designated for you to visit your child's new school to complete the registration process, while our friendly school staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have. Registering in January gives parents and their children time to prepare for the journey together. Families often practice things like putting on shoes and coats, school bus and pedestrian safety, and how to recognize their first name in print.
