2012-13 Kindergarten Enrollment
Kindergarten enrollment concluded on March 27, however paper registrations are still being accepted. You may pick up materials at the student’s attendance center, central administration office, or online. Additional information can be found on the district website.
- Please note that only completed packets will be accepted.
Kindergarten enrollment and placement is in accordance with board policy 501.15.
If registrations exceed capacity, parents will be asked to voluntarily transfer to a school that has available space. If not enough voluntary transfers can be identified, students will be placed in the neighborhood school based on the following sorts: (1) kindergarten registration materials as defined on the district website turned in by the specified due date (2) siblings already in the neighborhood elementary (3) those students living closest to the neighborhood school within the defined boundary limits and (4) students whose family representative attend kindergarten registration. Those students who are not registered for kindergarten during the registration period will be placed at their neighborhood school if possible. If that school is full, they will be placed at a school that has space available and put on a call back list according to the date of registration.
Welcome to Waukee Schools. Your child is entering a school district that prides itself on being student-centered and committed to partnering with parents to ensure a positive school experience for every student.
In kindergarten, the students learn beginning reading, math, language arts, science and social skills. They also learn how to get along with others, have classes in art, music and physical education. They are introduced to the library, have their first opportunity to eat school lunches and perhaps have their first ride on a school bus.
Get involved, volunteer where you can, call or email, ask questions, and learn about your schools. Enjoy being part or your child’s school experience.
