Early registration for the 2023-2024 school year will be held on Friday, May 5, 2023 at the four (4) elementary schools: East, South, Stewart Heights, and Lake View Elementary.

The elementary schools will be open for registration between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Parents are requested to bring a copy of the documents listed below. Registration is considered incomplete without all documents on file.

Students who will be four-year-old on or before September 1, 2023 may be eligible for full-day 4K services. Eligible students are those that meet the annual federal poverty definition or those that are Medicaid eligible. Acceptable forms of verification include the following: verification of family income, copy of current Medicaid Card, and/or DSS Case Number. Verification of family income may include pay stubs, tax returns, or W-2 forms. Verification must be on file before a child can be enrolled.
State law mandates that all five-year-old children must be enrolled in a public or private kindergarten unless a waiver is signed by the parents or legal guardian. Waiver forms are available upon request at the elementary schools.
