Kindergarten
Kindergarten: School Choice remains open until the first day of school provided there is available capacity. Families who live outside the District will need to pre-register at their home school, prior to applying for School Choice. Waiting list will be compiled by the date the completed application is received.
The kindergarten applications will be considered incomplete if the application, supplemental form, birth certificate and proof of residency are not submitted together and the student is not pre-registered at his home school. Acceptable proof of residency is a current mortgage statement, lease or rental agreement, electric, gas, oil, propane, water or sewer bill with the parents name and address on it.
