Kindergarten Enrollment Updates
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to inform you about an important update regarding kindergarten enrollment for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, based on Senate Bill 285. This bill amends the Revised School Code and introduces new requirements for kindergarten enrollment.
Important Updates to Kindergarten Enrollment:
● Mandatory Enrollment: Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, children who are five years old by September 1 must enroll in kindergarten.
● Option to Delay Enrollment: If your child is five by September 1, you have the option to delay enrollment for one year. To do so, you must notify the school in writing. This option is available only once.
● Children Turning Five After September 1: Children who turn five by December 1 may choose to enroll in kindergarten for the current school year, but this is not mandatory
.● Enrollment and Attendance Requirement: Once your child is enrolled, they will be expected to attend school for the entire school year.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these changes and prepare for the upcoming enrollment process. Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year will begin on March 3, 2025. You can register at 3924 Conant, and we will also host a Kindergarten Roundup on April 25, 2025, from 12:30–3:00 PM at the following locations:
