    You've Got This!

    Starting kindergarten is a big step for your whole family, and we're honored to be part of this journey with you. If you have questions, need help with paperwork, or just want to talk through the process, our enrollment team is here for you.
     

    Questions?

    Call us at (509) 663-8161 or visit any elementary school—we can't wait to meet your kindergartener!

    Welcome to the Wenatchee School District family. It's all about the students, and we're so excited for your child's adventure to begin!

  • Transition to Kindergarten (TK) Enrollment

    Is your 4-year-old getting ready for kindergarten next year? TK is a free program that gives children extra time to build confidence and skills before starting kindergarten. It's perfect for families who aren't currently enrolled in another preschool program.
     

    Where Can My Child Attend TK?

    TK is offered at three of our elementary schools:

    • Mission View Elementary
    • Newbery Elementary

    Your child can attend TK at the school in your neighborhood boundary. Not sure which school that is? We can help! Check our boundary map or give us a call at (509) 663-8161.
     

    How Do I Enroll My Child?

    It's easy! Here's what to do:

    1. Reach Out to Your School Contact the elementary school in your boundary and let them know you're interested in TK for your child. They'll talk with you about whether it might be a good fit.

    2. Simple Screening The school's family advocate will spend time with your child doing some friendly activities to see how we can best support them. With only 15 spots per class, we want to make sure TK goes to the families who need it most.

    3. Complete Registration Once the school confirms your child is eligible, you'll register them just like any new WSD student. We'll walk you through it!
     

    What If My Child is Already in Preschool?

    At Castle Rock Preschool? If your child has an IEP, you and the IEP team will decide together which program is the best fit.

    At another preschool? (Head Start, ECEAP, private preschool, or daycare) Since your child is already in an early learning program, TK isn't available—but that's great! They're already getting the preparation they need.

    Questions?

    We know navigating preschool options can feel overwhelming! Call our Early Learning Department for help. We're happy to chat and help you figure out what's best for your little one.

    Step 2: Athletics Clearance (for student-athletes)
