Dillon School District Four will conduct kindergarten registration for all students who will be four-years-old on or before September 1, 2021 or five-years-old on or before September 1, 2021.
Early registration for the 2021-2022 school year will be held on Friday, June 4, 2021 at the four elementary schools: East, South, Stewart Heights, and Lake View Elementary.
• Four and five-year-old students in the East attendance zone should register at East Elementary.

• Four and five-year-old students in the Stewart Heights attendance zone should register at Stewart Heights Elementary.
• Four and five-year-old students in Lake View should register at Lake View Elementary.
Since East, South, Stewart Heights, and Lake View Elementary serve designated attendance zones, parents should be prepared to provide proof of residence when registering.
The elementary schools will be open for registration between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Parents are requested to bring a copy of the documents listed below. Registration is considered incomplete without all documents on file.

Students who will be four-year-old on or before September 1, 2021 may be eligible for full-day 4K services. Eligible students are those that meet the annual federal poverty definition or those that are Medicaid eligible. Acceptable forms of verification include the following: verification of family income, copy of current Medicaid Card, and/or DSS Case Number. Verification of family income may include pay stubs, tax returns, or W-2 forms. Verification must be on file before a child can be enrolled.
State law mandates that all five-year-old children must be enrolled in an approved public or private kindergarten unless a waiver is signed by the parents or legal guardian. Waiver forms are available upon request at the elementary schools.
Parents that have questions in regard to kindergarten registration should call the school their child is zoned to attend.
