Parents may register their child online at Dysart.org/Registration or by visiting their local school.  In order to register for school, parents must provide a birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency.  To determine the school boundary for your residence, please visit www.dysart.org/boundaries. Open enrollment is available for parents who would like their child to attend a school other than their home school. Information on Open Enrollment is available at Dysart.org/OpenEnrollment. To begin kindergarten, students typically must be five (5) years of age on or prior to August 31 in the school year for which they are applying. However, Dysart has established a process by which an incoming student who does not meet this age requirement, but will turn five prior to December 31, can be evaluated for possible early entry into Dysart’s Kindergarten program. The application for the 2026-2027 screening will be available in April, for summer screening dates. Learn more at Dysart.org/EarlyKinder.
