Office Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Future kindergarteners must be 5 years old by September 1, 2009.  To register, bring birth certificate, immunization record and proof of residence (2 items - utility bill, bank statement, etc.)

It is important that we get an idea of how many kindergarteners we will have next year.  Please help us get the word out by encouraging anyone you know who lives in the Laurehurst attendance area to join us, if they have an age-eligible child.

As we make room to accommodate higher grades, any available transfer spots we have will be reserved for co-enrolled siblings.
