Children who will attain the age of five on or before August 31, 2018 are eligible to enroll in kindergarten for the 2018-2019 school year. Items necessary for kindergarten enrollment include the following: a birth certificate, an immunization record, parent photo ID and proof of address. The immunization policy for Garden City Public Schools follows the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s requirements for school entry.
Students enrolling on or before May 3, 2018, will have priority for space over students who enroll in the district after that date. Enrollment fee for kindergarten students is $25. Parents wanting more information on enrollment can contact their child’s school.
