Kindergarten Enrollment

Welcome to Lake Stevens Schools! We are excited to welcome you and your child to our school district. We are proud of our students, staff members, schools and district facilities, and want to make this first step in your child's education a great experience.

Ready for Kindergarten!

Your child is invited to Ready for Kindergarten!
This four-day opportunity offers a safe and welcoming introduction to elementary school for families and students, relieving many first-day anxieties (for students and their parents!). Students will become familiar with the school campus, the school staff, and their kindergarten peers before the start of school. Principals will also provide families an opportunity to meet staff, discuss kindergarten readiness and receive educational support around helping their students transition to kindergarten.

• Who: All incoming registered kindergarten students
• When: Monday Aug. 16 through Thursday, Aug. 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• Where: At each Lake Stevens Elementary School

Immunizations
All registered Ready for Kindergarten! students must fulfill the enrollment requirements of Kindergarten enrollment, including immunizations, before attending. Required immunizations are listed on page 13 of the enrollment packet.

Transportation
Transportation will be provided as needed for families or for those who want their child to practice riding the bus before the first day of school.

RSVP
Please RSVP here to help with our planning and to make sure transportation is set up for your child if needed.

Additional Items
You will need the following items to enroll your child:

• Completed Enrollment Packet
• Birth Certificate (official copy, not the keepsake provided by the hospital)
• Proof of Immunization
• Proof of Residence (includes lease agreement, rental agreement or PUD bill)

Due to overcrowding in Lake Stevens School District's schools, new enrollment for the 2021-22 school year is limited to those students who live within the school district boundaries. This means that new non-resident variances for students—including kindergarten—will not be approved.
