Kindergarten Round-Up in the Olathe School District will be held from 1-6 p.m. Thursday, April 6 in each elementary school. Kindergarten Round-Up is a pre-enrollment activity for parents and their future kindergartners (children who will turn 5 on or before Aug. 31). Current kindergarten students do not have class that day.

Parents who are not sure which elementary school their child should attend may use the school locator feature on the district website.

Parents should bring:

• proof of residency such as a utility bill,
• information about the child’s immunizations and inoculations,
• a certified copy of the birth certificate of the child or hospital birth certificate with attending physician’s signature and superintendent of the hospital’s signature,
• as an alternative for the child in the custody of the Secretary of Social and Rehabilitation Services, a certified copy of the court order placing the child in the custody of the secretary.

State law establishes the age at which a child may enter kindergarten or first grade, and the district cannot deviate from the law.

Reminder: Parents must present a form of identification upon entering the building.

Parents should contact their school for additional details and if they have questions about Kindergarten Round-Up or the enrollment process.
