REMINDER: Kindergarten Registration Begins Thursday, February 5
If you live in Lake Washington School District and your child will be five years old on or before August 31, 2009, it is time to register them for kindergarten. Registration takes place at your neighborhood school, beginning on February 5 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
To register your child, parents should bring the following items:
- proof of the child’s birth date such as a birth certificate or passport
- child’s health history, including current immunizations
- emergency contact information
- For those interested in registering for all-day kindergarten, please bring a money order or check for the first month's tuition
Parents interested in registering their child for all-day kindergarten will need to bring their checkbook, as they will be asked to pay for the first month of kindergarten at the time of registration.
Lake Washington offers half-day kindergarten for all children in the district. At times, the district may need to transport students to a school other than their neighborhood school due to enrollment levels. If that happens, a lottery will be held on February 12 to determine which students will be affected. More…
