Kindergarten
Have a student starting kindergarten in August? We are excited for you to join the Dubuque Community School District!
How to Get Started
Complete the following if you have NOT completed a New Student Enrollment Form or attended a kindergarten welcome session.
| 1 | COMPLETE THE NEW STUDENT ENROLLMENT FORM |
| 2019-2020 New Student Enrollment Form (PDF) | |
| 2 | RETURN COMPLETED FORM TO YOUR HOME SCHOOL |
| Not sure of your home school? Find out online at www.dbqschools.org/find-your-school. Even if you wish to apply for open enrollment, you should start the process at your home school. | |
| 3 | FOR THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR, PLAN TO ATTEND YOUR SCHOOL’S KINDERGARTEN WELCOME EVENT |
| Once you complete and return the New Student Enrollment Form, you will receive a follow-up mailing with everything you need for the next steps in the process. Your follow-up mailing will also include details about your school’s kindergarten welcome event, if enrollment form is received before the event. |
For Your Information
- If your child requires medication to be administered at school, the Request for Medication to be Given at School Form is available in your school’s nurses office.
When do you actually register?
You will receive a registration packet from the district in late summer with instructions on how to officially register through the district’s online student information system.
