Kindergarten Enrollment

Kindergarten enrollment for the 2026-27 school year will be held from 1-6 p.m. Thursday, April 9 in each elementary school. This is an event for parents and their future kindergartners (children who will turn 5 on or before Aug. 31). Current kindergarten students do not have class that day. 

Families should bring: 

  • proof of residency such as a utility bill,
  • information about the child’s immunizations and inoculations, 
  • a certified copy of the birth certificate of the child or hospital birth certificate with the attending physician’s signature and superintendent of the hospital’s signature, 
  • as an alternative for the child in the custody of the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services, a certified copy of the court order placing the child in the custody of the secretary. 

As visitors, parents must present a form of identification upon entering the building. 

Families who are not sure which elementary school their child should attend should use the Johnson County AIMS locator. Please contact your child’s school for additional details and if you have questions about kindergarten enrollment or the enrollment process. As a reminder, state law establishes the age at which a child may enter kindergarten or first grade, and the district cannot deviate from the law.
