Kindergarten

Kindergarten is an important event in the life of a family. It is a time of new beginnings for both students and parents. We know the tremendous trust that you have placed in us by choosing to have your kindergarten student attend school in our school district. We will offer many new learning experiences and do all we can to make sure that your child has the tools necessary to explore his or her interests and build a foundation to achieve at higher levels with each coming year. 

Kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year began March 12. 

All Clover Park School District elementary schools offer full-day kindergarten.
