To ensure a smooth transition for some of the district’s youngest learners, we have scheduled two dedicated on-site registration events this spring. Parents of children starting Kindergarten this fall are required to attend one of these sessions to verify residency and complete the enrollment process.

📅 Kindergarten Registration Events

Families should visit their designated neighborhood school (Roy, Scott, or Westdale) on either of the following dates:

  • Thursday, March 26, 2026 | 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM

  • Thursday, April 16, 2026 | 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM

Note: Credit card is the preferred method for any registration fees due at the time of enrollment.
