Preschool registration for 4-year-olds also available
By Andy Klotz—
MUNCIE, IN— Muncie Community Schools (MCS) will be holding kindergarten roundup at all six of its elementary schools Thursday, April 11 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. This is an opportunity for families to register their 5-year-olds for the 2024-25 school year while getting a first-hand look at classrooms and having questions answered directly by teachers and administrators. Children must be 5 years old on or before September 1 to be eligible for kindergarten.
Kindergarten roundup will coincide with open enrollment for all grades, preschool through 12th. Preschool openings are limited with priority given to children who will be 4 years old by September 1. Three-year-olds may be admitted if space is available. Financial assistance through Indiana’s On My Way Pre-K program is available for many families, and applications can be found here: bit.ly/49j95dK.
The quickest and easiest way for parents and guardians to enroll new or returning students to MCS is going online to EnrollinMCS.org. People who need assistance or prefer to register in person at their home school should plan to bring these documents:
- Current identification
- Proof of residency
- Student’s birth certificate
- Student’s immunization records
By enrolling students early, parents and guardians make it easier for school principals to appropriately staff their buildings for the first day of school, which is set for August 7. For more information, please visit muncieschools.org.
