We will send a letter to your home in late March to confirm your school enrollment. Students who applied for Woodcrest Spanish Immersion or open enrollment will receive an update at this time on their placement. Once your child is enrolled in kindergarten, someone will reach out to learn more about your family and our new student.
ATTEND A K IN ACTION EVENT IN MAY
During K in Action events in May, students will connect with each other and kindergarten teachers, do fun activities and get a tour of the school. Parents will get an overview of what to expect in kindergarten, ask questions and drop off materials at the enrollment station. Stay tuned for more information.

Students tour and get to know their school building, engage in fun activities and get introduced to general school routines and expectations. This preparation helps kids gain comfort and confidence for their first days in K. Kinder Camp is completely free and transportation is available.
BACK TO SCHOOL INFORMATION WILL ARRIVE IN AUGUSTSchool supply lists, transportation postcards and other important information will be available in the second half of August. Meet and Greet events for each school will take place at the end of summer.
We offer full-day, every-day Kindergarten at Centerview, Northpoint and Park Terrace Elementary Schools and Woodcrest Spanish Immersion School.
