Step 1: Parent Information Form
Please complete the LDSD Kindergarten Parent Information Form for every child who is eligible to enroll in kindergarten. Even if you do not intend to enroll your child for the 2025-2026 school year, we still ask that you complete the Parent Information Form so that we can remove your child from our building roster.
Scheduling for registration appointments will occur at the District Kindergarten Parent Orientation or we will call you once we receive this information.
Step 2: Gather Needed Documents for registration:
The parent or guardian must present the following information at the time of registration:
- The child's evidence of birth
- An authorized record of immunizations
- Proof of residency in the form of a lease, a deed, or a utility bill
- Photo id of the parent/guardian
- Proof of custody if required
State law prohibits a child from attending school for even one day unless proof of immunization has been provided.
Families who need language support during the registration can request an interpreter through the school when they make the registration appointment.
