Kindergarten Enrollment

In this step you will provide details about the student. This includes the student's name, date of birth, ethnicity, and language. It's also important to share their educational history, such as if they've previously attended NKSD, or provide information about the most recent school district they attended. This information helps us better understand the student's background and tailor their educational experience accordingly.

In this section, you will provide details about the student's family or guardians. This involves entering information about the family members the student lives with, their home address, contact details, and their relationship to the student. This vital information helps us maintain necessary communication channels and understand the student's living situation better.

*Please note that guardians cannot share email addresses. If two guardians use the same email address, then only enter it for one guardian and leave the other blank. Each guardian must have a distinct email address, if available.

In this step, you're asked to provide the names and phone numbers of individuals who can pick up your students when you're not available. These contacts will be reached out to by the school office staff only after attempts to contact you have been unsuccessful. Therefore, it's important to note that you shouldn't list yourself or the guardians from Step 2 as emergency contacts. These should be trusted individuals who can be available for your student in emergency situations.

In this section, you will need to enter your student's immunization information. As part of the preparation for enrollment, it's essential to have a medically verified immunization record. This record can be acquired from your student's healthcare provider, or you can access and print it yourself using MyIR, a free online tool provided by the Department of Health. This information helps us ensure the health and safety of all students.

If you wish to request an exemption from one or more of the immunization requirements, you must provide the school with a completed Certificate of Exemption. To learn more about exemptions, please visit the Department of Health website.(

For additional details on student immunization, please refer to the 'Immunization Records' section in the FAQ on this page, or visit our health services page 

This step involves the submission of necessary documentation. These documents include Proof of Birthdate, Proof of Residency, and a Certificate of Immunization. In specific cases, a Records Request Form might be needed, generally for students requiring special services.

This stage is also appropriate to submit any additional documents like a Title VI Eligibility Form, Certificate of Exemption or a Records Request form, . These documents play a crucial role in completing your student's enrollment and ensuring all their unique needs are met.

For additional details on documentation, please refer to the 'required documents' section in the FAQ on this page, or email District Records or call (360) 396-3588

The final step before submitting your application involves filling out additional district forms. These forms encompass:

1. The most recent Immunization Notification issued by the district's Health Services Department.
2. The current School Year Attendance Policy Letter, which outlines the district's expectations for attendance, its attendance procedures, and how parents can be involved in this process.
3. The Health Emergency and Emergency Medical Treatment Authorization Form for your student.
4. The Non-Resident Admission Form, which is necessary for students residing outside of the district.
5. A Student Enrollment Questionnaire, which allows the district to gather more information about the student in order to identify services and programs that can best support them.
6. The Student Housing Questionnaire, which assists in determining eligibility for services under the McKinney-Vento Act 42 U.S.C. 11435. This Act provides support and services for children and youth experiencing homelessness.
7. The Student Network/Internet User Agreement and Parent Permission Form. This form outlines the policies and procedures designed to ensure student safety when using the school's network and electronic devices.
8. The Meal Charging Procedures, which provide information on managing a food services account in compliance with the USDA Child Nutrition Program.
9. Lastly, the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Home Language Survey, which is required for all students in Washington State.
