Enrollment time is here for kindergartners starting school in the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools next fall.
On Thursday, April 17, all KCKPS elementary schools will be holding Kindergarten Roundup sessions.
Parents with children who will be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31, 2014, may enroll them for the 2014-2015 school year.
Kindergarten Roundup is for both parents and children. Activities taking place during the sessions differ from school to school, but children will be given the opportunity to get acquainted with the kindergarten teachers, and learn about going to school, while parents complete the necessary paperwork.
In many instances, translators will be provided.
Dates have not yet been set for preschool enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year. Parents with questions may call 913-627-0360.
Parents should bring the following information with them for kindergarten enrollment:
• Their child’s state birth certificate (must be the original, not a copy)
• Their child’s current immunization records
• Proof of a recent physical for their child
• Proof of address (such as a utility bill or lease agreement with the parents’ name on it)
