Early registration of new kindergarten students allows the district to organize the kindergarten class and transportation schedules.  This will help insure that the new students first few days at school go as smoothly as possible.  Registration will take place at the Grade School your child will attend.

A free preschool screening will be offered for all District 115 residents who are 3, 4, and 5 years of age.  Children who will attend kindergarten during the 2012-2013  school year are all encouraged to participate.
