Get Ready for Waukee Kindergarten Registration

From the Waukee School District website:

In an effort to make the transition to elementary school more efficient, parents will complete enrollment forms for kindergarten online.

The online enrollment portal will open March 13. There will be a SnapCode emailed to the family once the required documentation has been received and processed. Parents will have three weeks to complete the online process before the portal closes.

Kindergarten Registration Night, which will be held at each elementary attendance center, is Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. Woodland Hills Kindergarten Registration Night will be held at South Middle School, 2350 LA Grand Parkway, Waukee, Iowa 50263, at the same time. A boundary map to determine which attendance center your child will attend can be located here.

For any questions regarding attendance centers call 987-2706. At this meeting, parents will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of kindergarten programming.

Paper copies of proof of residency, proof of birth, a doctor’s office copy of an immunizations record, and ahome language survey are required to obtain a SnapCode to complete the enrollment process.

Parents are asked to turn in these copies with the registration cover sheet to the District Office at 560 S.E. University Ave., Waukee, Iowa 50263 beginning March 1. Online directions and the registration cover sheet can be downloaded here.

Families wishing to complete the enrollment process using the paper process may do so by picking up materials at the District Office beginning March 12.

Kindergarten enrollment and placement is in accordance with board policy 501.15.

If registrations exceed capacity, parents will be asked to voluntarily transfer to a school that has available space. If not enough voluntary transfers can be identified, students will be placed in the neighborhood school based on the following sorts:

1. kindergarten registration materials as defined on the district website turned in by the specified due date.
2. siblings already in the neighborhood elementary
3. those students living closest to the neighborhood school within the defined boundary limits and
4. students whose family representative attend kindergarten registration.

Those students who are not registered for kindergarten during the registration period will be placed at their neighborhood school if possible. If that school is full, they will be placed at a school that has space available and put on a call back list according to the date of registration.
