Kindergarten Orientation

Registering your child for kindergarten is an exciting first step

toward their educational journey!

Our kindergarten program is designed to create a warm, nurturing environment where young learners feel supported as they explore new concepts and skills. The registration process is simple, with friendly staff available to guide you through each step. 

Students must be 5 years of age by Aug. 31, 2026.

Kindergarten Orientation and Visitation will be on April 13, 2026 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.  

You can park on the west side of the school by the south gym entrance. After check in, you will be directed to take your child to the kindergarten room and then proceed to the gym.

The orientation consists of information provided by the office staff and answers to questions. Our school nurse, Ashleigh Harp, RN, will discuss general health and immunization requirements. Kindergarten teachers will also introduce themselves, and at 7:00 p.m., you will go back to the kindergarten room to pick up your child. We will be available to answer any questions you may have until 7:30 p.m.

Please bring the following documents with you for new students who did not attend Colwich PreK:

  • Copy of your child’s state issued birth certificate. We can make copies if needed. 

  • Current immunization record. This can be a printed copy from your physician or we can copy your pink immunization record cards.

  •  Health physical 

    • Use this form: Health Physical or a form provided by the physician.
    • Physical must be dated after September 1, 2025.
    • The physical may be completed by a licensed physician (MD, DO, DC), a certified physician’s assistant (PA-C), or an advance practice registered nurse (APRN).

  • Proof of residency

    • We can accept: Current electric bill, gas bill, water bill, signed lease, rental agreement, or signed housing contract.
    • We can’t accept: Driver’s license, check, cell phone bill, cable bill, or any other kind of bill or letter.

We look forward to visiting with you and your child.

Sincerely,

Evan Burke, Principal
