Kindergarten Information

Is your child ready for kindergarten? Watch this presentation!

Not not sure which elementary school your child(ren) will attend?

Roanoke County Schools will hold registration for upcoming kindergarten children, and children presently enrolled in private kindergarten who will attend first grade in public schools during the 2013 - 2014 school year.

All children who will be five years old on or before September 30, 2013, are eligible for kindergarten. Parents should register their children at the elementary school in their home area beginning on Thursday, January 17 and Friday, January 18 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Registration will continue beyond the kickoff dates of Jan. 17 and 18.

Parents should bring the following information to registration:

Child’s birth certificate
Social Security card
Immunization record
Proof of residency (a mortgage, a pending contract, a copy of a lease or a property tax statement will be accepted as proof of residency)

* Note: A driver’s license or vehicle registration will not be accepted as proof of residency.

Schools must have the physical and immunization record on file prior to the first day of school or students will not be allowed to attend school. Pupils who are presently attending kindergarten in Roanoke County Public Schools are not required to register. Children currently enrolled in a Roanoke County Public Schools preschool program who are eligible for kindergarten must go through the registration process. If the date of the current physical and immunization record on file exceeds 12 months of the first day of school, an updated physical and immunization record is required before the first day of school.
