2025-2026 K-12 Enrollment for New Students Opens Feb. 1

  • Registration
2025-2026 K-12 Enrollment for New Students Opens Feb. 1

Enrollment for new Lakota students in grades K-12 for the 2025-2026 school year, including incoming kindergartners, opens Feb. 1. Early kindergarten registration extends through April 1. 

All incoming kindergarten students are eligible for Lakota’s all-day program, with the option to enroll in the half-day program, if desired. Lakota’s all-day kindergarten classes will be held at six K-2 early childhood schools, including Creekside, Heritage, Hopewell, Liberty, Shawnee and Wyandot. The time and location of the half-day program will be determined at a later date based on total enrollment, but has been a morning session hosted at Wyandot ECS in recent years. 

Please note that students must be five years old on or before Aug. 1 in order to enroll in kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year. Current Lakota preschool students do not need to complete the enrollment process. They will be automatically enrolled in Lakota kindergarten, unless alternative plans have been communicated.

All families are invited to register online through FinalForms. You will be asked to create a parent account and register your student. You must upload the required documents and complete and sign all of the registration forms for your student’s enrollment to be complete.

Kindergarten Parent Information Night

Parents are encouraged to enroll in advance of the in-person parent information night for incoming kindergartners happening at each of Lakota’s six early childhood schools on Thursday, April 10 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Make plans to attend the open house at your child’s future school, as determined by your attendance zone (use our interactive map to enter your address and find your assigned school). Get a basic introduction to Lakota, meet the principal and other key staff, tour the school, and learn more about Lakota’s kindergarten program.

Virtual Readiness Session 

As a follow-up to the building-hosted open houses, all incoming kindergarten parents are also invited to the district’s virtual “Kindergarten Readiness” session on May 6 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Attend to get guidance for preparing your child academically, socially and emotionally for their kindergarten experience. Also, learn about Lakota's approach to beginning of the year testing and class placement, phase-in days as well as the consistent facets of "a day in the life" of a Lakota kindergartner. 

The virtual session will be recorded and, for those who missed their building’s open house, will review basic school procedures for areas like transportation, child nutrition, clinic services and communications.
