Kindergarten Transition Checklist Kindergarten Transition Checklist

Step 1: Confirm you address

Step one of the Kindergarten Transition process begins in January! Your child's 4K teacher will be reaching out to verify your current home address. We realize children may move before Fall of 2026; however, confirming addresses is the first step in our process of calculating the number of students we expect at each elementary building.


So, please confirm your child's home address / home school for Fall of 2026 with your child's 4K Teacher. IF you've moved since you registered for 4K, you will be asked to provide address verification documentation.
