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 2026-2027 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.

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 current lease, a deed, or a utility bill

State law prohibits a child from attending school for even one day unless proof of immunization has been provided.
