Published 1:30 pm Monday, January 9, 2017

If you live in Lake Washington School District (LWSD) and your child will be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31, 2017, it is time to register them for kindergarten. Registration takes place at your neighborhood school.

Parents will be able to register their children for kindergarten beginning Feb. 2 from 1-7 p.m. and continuing during regular school hours through the beginning of the 2017-18 school year. While registration will continue throughout the school year and summer, parents are highly encouraged to register students as soon as possible. Doing so helps ensure class sizes are balanced and adequate staff are hired in time for the new school year.

To register a child for kindergarten, parents should bring the following items:

• Proof of residency (such as a purchase/rental agreement or utility bill).

• Proof of the child’s birth date such as a birth certificate or passport.

• Child’s health history, including current immunizations.

• Emergency contact information.

Visit the kindergarten registration page of the LWSD website (lwsd.org) to watch a video and learn more about the registration process.

To determine which school is your neighborhood school, check the district website, or call the district’s transportation office at (425) 936-1120.
