    Kindergarten enrollment for the 2023-24 school year begins on Tuesday, March 14. Each elementary school will share kindergarten information on its website beginning the week of March 6. Enrollment packets for the 2023-24 school year are available now (see below). Paper copies will also be available at all elementary schools, and at the Educational Services Center.

    Children must be five-years-old by Aug. 31, 2023 to enroll in kindergarten for the 2023-24 school year. When enrolling your child, please bring the completed enrollment packet, an official copy of the child’s  birth certificate, proof of immunization, and proof of residence in Lake Stevens School District. Enrollment is limited to those students who live within school district boundaries.

    Ready for Kindergarten!

    • Who: All incoming registered kindergarten students
    • When: Monday, Aug. 21, 2023 through Wednesday, Aug. 23
    • Where: At each Lake Stevens Elementary School

    This three-day opportunity offers a safe and welcoming introduction to elementary school for families and students, relieving many first-day anxieties (for students and their caregivers!).

    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.

    Bus transportation will be provided (if registered prior to the end of July) for families who need it or for those who want their child to practice riding the bus before the first day of school.

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

    We are looking forward to welcoming your kindergarten student to Ready for Kindergarten and a fantastic first year in elementary school. Welcome aboard!

    2023-24 Enrollment Packets

    Enrollment packets are available as fillable PDFs in English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian.

    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 2023-24 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.
