WELCOME NEW KINDERGARTEN FAMILIES
Information for 2025-2026 Kindergarten Families
Is it time to enroll my child for Kindergarten?
Families are eligible to enroll kindergartners who will be five-years-old, on or before Sept. 1, 2025.
Exception: According to Michigan Law, a child may be enrolled in kindergarten if he/she is not five years of age on September 2, but will be five years of age not later than December 1 and parent or legal guardian notifies the school district in writing (Kindergarten Waiver Form) that they intend to enroll the child in kindergarten.
If you are considering enrolling your student using a Waiver Form, we STRONGLY encourage you to look into WLCSD's Junior Kindergarten Program. (See below for additional information.)
