Kindergarten Registration for the 25-26 School Year Opens March 17

The kindergarten registration window is now open for the Class of 2038.

Families will be able to register their children for kindergarten beginning March 17, and registration will take place entirely online. Those with a student currently in the district will be able to register their child by logging into their Skyward account and selecting the WCS New Student Enrollment Link. Families who do not have a current WCS student can request a Skyward account by following the New Student Online Enrollment instructions on the WCS website. There is no deadline to register, but the district encourages families to complete the enrollment process by March 21 to ensure adequate time for scheduling.

Each elementary school will host an evening event for families who need help with the online platform. At the event, parents will have the opportunity to come in and register their child for kindergarten with the assistance of school staff. Contact your zoned school for the date and time of the event.

To attend kindergarten in the 2025-26 school year, students must be five years old on or before August 15, 2025. The following documents are needed to register a student at WCS:
