Welcome to kindergarten/DK, and in many cases, to Fraser Public Schools! 

You and your child are about to begin the exciting new experience of starting school. It is during this first year of school that your child’s lifelong understanding of education and learning are formed. Our goal is to ensure your child has a successful first school experience that will help prepare him or her for a lifetime of learning.

Students must be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2021 to enroll in DK or kindergarten. A waiver is available under the Registration Forms links for students with birthdays between September 1 and December 1. 

DK Program
Fraser Public Schools has an established program for students who may benefit from an additional year of learning before kindergarten.

Fraser Public Schools requires all incoming kindergarten students to take the Brigance Early Childhood Screening. This free assessment:

• Takes about 15 minutes
• Assesses school readiness
• Determines each child's strengths and needs
• Provides a baseline for our teachers
• Results are not reported on a report card
• Helps us identify students for DK

The main goal of the readiness assessment is to increase your child’s success in school.
