Beginning Kindergarten

If your child turns 5 years old on or before September 1st, they will begin kindergarten in the fall.

2023-24 Kindergarten Registration is now open!

We are currently accepting online registration for all incoming kindergarteners. Our goal is to have all kindergarten students registered by the beginning of June. In addition to allowing your child time to become familiar with their school and teacher, enrolling early gives our staff time to prepare the classroom for your child and gives us the opportunity to invite your student(s) to various activities that happen throughout the summer, such as our Early Kindergarten Transition (EKT) program.

Early Kindergarten Transition Program (EKT) | Summer Program

Each summer David Douglas School District hosts a two week program designed to prepare students for starting kindergarten in the fall. The Early Kindergarten Transition Program (EKT), also known as ‘Jumpstart to Kindergarten’, is a safe and welcoming introduction to kindergarten for students and families. This program is specifically for students attending kindergarten in David Douglas School District.

Summer EKT 2023 Program is now closed.
