The Fond du Lac School District has set 5 year-old Kindergarten enrollment dates for children who will be attending during the 2023-2024 school year. Enrollment will begin on Monday, April 17, 2023, and will continue through Friday, April 21, 2023. During the week of April 17th , parents and guardians of prospective kindergartners can enroll their child between 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. in person. Parents and guardians are also asked to bring proof of their child’s age in the form of a birth certificate or baptismal record when enrolling as well as two forms of proof of residency. A current property tax statement, closing statement or mortgage statement, or an active residential lease will be required as one form of proof. The original documents will be returned to you. Wisconsin statutes state, “Except as provided in s.115.01(2) and s.115.28(8), no child may be admitted to kindergarten unless he or she is 5 years old on or before September 1, in the year he or she proposes to enter school.” Children reaching their 5th birthday after September 1, 2023, but on or before December 1, 2023, may be admitted to kindergarten upon administrative approval according to Board of Education Policy. Requests for early entrance should be addressed to the Director of Pupil Services, 920-906-6520. 118.33(6)(cm) prohibits a school board or an independent charter school under Wis. Stat. Sec. 118.40(2r) from enrolling a child in first grade unless the child has completed 5-year-old kindergarten or has received an exemption. Enrollment will take place at your attendance area school. If you do not know the attendance area school your child should enroll at, the information is available on our website at https://www.fonddulac.k12.wi.us under Enrollment and District Boundary Maps. The information is also available by contacting Wendy Burgess at 920-906-6524.
