Registration & Immunizations
If you are new to the area or have a child who will be entering kindergarten in the fall, we welcome you! Visiting your child’s new school campus can help put jittery feelings at ease—both yours and your child’s—so we invite you to stop by the school to turn in all necessary registration forms and documentation.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
Kindergarten students must be at least five (5) years old on or before September 1 of the year they will begin school. Registration packets are available by contacting the Primary Center. The Primary Center will hold a parent informational meeting in the spring of the prior school year. At this meeting, parents meet teachers and staff, learn about different kindergarten programs, sign up for screening, and ask questions. Parents and guardians may contact the Primary Center secretary for more information. During the summer, when the Primary Center is closed, please contact the administration office.
