Every year, we invite the next group of kindergarten parents to become acquainted with our district by attending Kindergarten Information Night at each of our six elementary schools in Royal Oak. Incoming kindergarten parents can meet the teachers and principal and have their questions answered.

 

Kindergarten enrollment begins on February 2, 2026. All children who are five years of age on or before September 1 are eligible to enroll for the coming school year.
