Kindergarten Registration for Fall 2012
Missoula County Public Schools (MCPS) will begin registering students for kindergarten in fall 2012 on Tuesday, April 10, in its nine elementary schools. A child must be age 5 on or before Sept. 10, 2012, to register. The District provides full day kindergarten in all elementary schools.
Parents should register their child at the elementary school that their child would attend based on MCPS attendance boundaries. If you are unsure what neighborhood school your child should attend, please view the attendance boundary information online. A search function (by address) is available and attendance boundary maps can also be viewed. Parents can also stop by the District’s Administration Building at 215 S. Sixth W. or call 728-2400, ext. 1030 for more information.

If you have specific questions about kindergarten curriculum or classes in a particular school, feel free to contact the school directly.
It is important that parents register their child as soon as possible in the spring so that students can be included in Kindergarten Roundup (an orientation program for kindergartners and their parents at each school) in May.
The first day of school in the 2012-2013 school year is Tuesday, Aug. 28; some schools take a “staggered approach” beginning with half day classes on the first day and progressing to “full day” classes as the week concludes.
