To attend Kindergarten beginning in August 2026 for the 2026-27 school year, your child must be 5 years old on or before October 1, 2026. Centralized Admissions will accept online registrations for Kindergarten students for the 2026-27 school year from March 1, 2026 through April 17, 2026 so parents can complete step 2 of the registration process. Registration will continue throughout the summer. The first day of Kindergarten is August 10, 2026.

NOTE: Current APS preschool students entering Kindergarten for 2026-27 will not need to re-register at Centralized Admissions.

To determine which school your child should attend, use our online address lookup tool, or call 303-326-2200.
