We are excited to welcome our future kindergartener families to Kindergarten Information Night on Thursday, January 30, 2025! The event starts at 6:30 p.m.. Remember that this night is for parents only so please do not bring your children.
This special evening is an opportunity to meet our dedicated staff, learn about our kindergarten and developmental kindergarten programs, and explore Royal Oak Schools. Families will gain valuable information about the enrollment process and the exciting journey that awaits their children.
DK/Kindergarten Enrollment for Royal Oak Schools Residents for the 2025-2026 school year begins Monday, February 3, 2025.
What is Developmental Kindergarten?
Developmental Kindergarten (DK) allows students to spend additional time physically and emotionally developing in a safe and secure environment before Kindergarten. Students in DK experience similar opportunities as other Kindergarten students but are taught at a pace and intensity dependent on individual readiness.
Developmental Kindergarten follows the same laws and enrollment requirements as traditional kindergarten.
Age Requirements for Enrollment
- Standard Kindergarten Eligibility: Children must be five (5) years old on or before September 1, 2025, to enroll in kindergarten.
- Kindergarten Age Waiver Option: If your child turns five (5) between September 2 and December 1, 2025, they may still be enrolled. Parents/guardians must notify the district in writing at the time of enrollment by completing a Kindergarten Age Waiver form.
We look forward to welcoming our youngest learners to our Community Of Excellence!
