Kindergarten Roundup 2025-2026
Dates and times for our 2025-2026 Kindergarten Roundup have been set. Kindergarten Roundup gives our schools an early opportunity to find out how many students plan to attend kindergarten next year. Some preliminary screenings may also take place to determine a child's readiness for kindergarten and provide educational support for parents and kids.
The times listed below represent the "window" when each school will conduct its Kindergarten Roundup on the specified date. They are not a representation of the length of time a parent should expect to be at the school.
· Ashley Elementary: April 8 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
· Davis Elementary: April 22 and April 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
· Discovery Elementary: April 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
· Eagle View Elementary: April 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
· Lapoint Elementary: April 25 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
· Maeser Elementary: April 22 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
· Naples Elementary: March 28 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In Utah, children must be 5 years old by Sept. 2 to qualify for kindergarten attendance. Please bring the following items with you, as they are required for students to attend school: birth certificate, proof of residence, and immunization record. If you have questions about a school's plan for Kindergarten Roundup, please call the main office at that school for more information.
