Kindergarten 2022-2023

Please follow the steps below

We are excited to open Kindergarten Registration for the 2022-2023 school year!

In the past, we have asked families to register by their zoned elementary school on a specific day. With the new online process, you can now register at any time

To register for the 2022-2023 school year in kindergarten, students need to be 5 years old by September 1, 2022.


PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING ONLINE REGISTRATION
Pre-K Students already enrolled in a Dawson County School Pre-K Program at RES, RVES, or KES, DO NOT need to complete the online registration process for new students. Parents will need to do the following:

1.Complete RETURNING student registration when it opens in June! The link will be provided on the district's website under returning students once the window opens.

2.Complete and submit an out-of-zone request if your child isn't zoned to the school where they attended pre-k and you wish for them to continue at the school. If you do not submit a form, your child will be scheduled at their zoned school (the school assigned to the address where you reside). Click HERE to access the out-of-zone form. 

NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION PROCESS -Follow the steps below to register your rising kindergarten student!

Step 1)

We recommend that you have the following documentation ready before you start the registration process, and that you are using a laptop or desktop with a scanner:

1. Proof of Residency Utility bill in the parent's name within 30 days (electricity, gas, water, or internet), settlement statement, mortgage payment or rental/lease agreement. If you are unable to provide this information please contact the Registrar directly. 
2. Student’s Social Security Card (which is used solely for the purposes of identification and for application for the Hope scholarship and other post-secondary applications). Parents have the option of signing a waiver stating that they do not wish at the time of enrollment to provide a Social Security number. Please bring proper identification if you plan to sign this waiver, as it is a notarized document that will remain in your student's school file.
