Kindergarten Registration

  • To register for Kindergarten, follow the registration process on the district New Student Enrollment page for grades K-12 or click the button below.

    • Families who are in EWSD pre-K programs or who receive Act 166 funds/state funds for other preschool programs do not need to enroll their students because we already have those students in the EWSD database. Families should receive email from EWSD with further instructions on how to confirm that their students will enlist in Kindergarten class for the new upcoming year. If you did not receive such email please contact one of the Kindergarten contacts listed below.
