Kindergarten Registration

Believe it or not, it is time to start thinking about kindergarten enrollment for the 2024–2025 school year. If you have a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2024, it is time to contact your neighborhood school. If you know a kindergarten-aged child in your neighborhood, please share this information with their parents.

Step 1: Calling All Five Year Olds!

It's important to let us know your child will be attending kindergarten in the fall as soon as possible. You can do that by completing the form online.

Important information as well as invitations to kindergarten transition events will be emailed to everyone who completes this form. Please fill it out as soon as possible to ensure you stay up-to-date and have all of the information you need to help your child successfully transition to kindergarten in the fall.


Questions?
School contact information is listed to the right on this page (or below if you are on a mobile device). If you are not sure which school your child would attend, call 724-287-8723.

Thank you for your help! We look forward to seeing your family soon!

Step 2: Complete the Enrollment Packet
