Eagan Kindergarten Registration Begins Jan.19

Kindergarten registration at all District 197 elementary schools for 2017-18 will start on Jan. 19 with an open house event at each building. After Jan. 19, families can register at each school in the main office.

At registration night parents can find answers to their registration questions and speak with teachers, the school nurse, and the principal.

Registrations packets will be mailed to kindergarten families at the end of December. They can also be picked up at any school’s office.

All completed paperwork should be brought to registration night on Jan. 19, along with an official birth certificate or hospital registration of birth.

Students who would like to enroll at a school other than the one in their attendance area must first request an intra-district transfer. Families who have submitted a transfer request should start by registering at their attendance-area school.

All students entering kindergarten in a public school in Minnesota must complete an early childhood screening. Every child must also have a current immunization record on file before they start school in the fall, according to a news release.
