Kindergarten registration opens March 1
Our kindergarten programs are full-day classes and follow the school district calendar. Children are eligible for kindergarten if they are 5 years old on or before Sept. 1. All kindergarten classes are free. If you want your kindergarten child to attend a school outside your attendance area, please follow the open enrollment process.
Open House events for kindergarten and preschool
Families and new students are invited to come learn about our preschool and kindergarten programs at our spring 2025 Open House events. Families will learn about our schools and what to expect for the upcoming school year, and will have an opportunity to complete and turn in necessary registration forms. Please bring proof of residency, birth certificate, and immunization records.
For additional registration events, please check the Durango School District website or contact your school.
