Kindergarten Registration

 

Kindergarten registration opened on April 6, 2026. You can register online or register in person at your child's zoned school. Current 4Y families can register at Lockwood on April 17th from 8:30 AM - 2:30 PM. 

You will need to provide your proof of residency (utility bill, lease agreement, etc), shot records, and birth certificate. Full information on the required documents is available online. 

Because we will be switching to a new student information system this summer, if your application is not fully completed by May 22, you will need to restart your application in the new system. 

Families interested in the dual language program can come with their child to La Casita Elementary (400 Davis St.) on April 23rd for their ¡Adelante! registration event.
