Welcome to Kindergarten!

  • On Feb. 27, 2024, the Lakeville Area Schools Board of Education approved K-8 attendance area adjustments model D3 after several months of designing updated school boundaries with stakeholder input. The school boundary adjustments are necessary in order to address capacity issues across K-8 schools and to open the District's newest school, Highview Elementary. Boundary adjustments for grades K-8 will take effect beginning in the 2024-25 school year, while high school boundaries remain unchanged.To confirm your student’s school assignment for the 2024-25 school year, most families can enter their home address using the ‘Interactive Attendance Area Map Tool’ on the District’s Map & Attendance Boundaries webpage.

    Lakeville Area Schools believes kindergarten is a major milestone in a child’s learning journey. We believe the Lakeville Area Schools' kindergarten experience provides an inquisitive environment that is welcoming to ALL learners, while developing a lifelong passion for learning.

    We believe that student success starts with:

    • Ready Students who are ready for kindergarten and are able to actively engage in academic and essential life skills.
    • Ready Families who have opportunities in accessing tools and resources that support their child’s readiness for kindergarten.
    • Ready Schools that support every child every day through robust learning experiences that are responsive to the diverse needs of ALL learners.
    • Ready Community that supports our children, families and schools through relationship building.

    Children who are five-years-old on or before September 1 are eligible to begin kindergarten. The date for online enrollment registration for incoming kindergartners is TBD. You will need to provide your child’s birth certificate, passport, or hospital record when completing the enrollment process. Copies of these legal documents are accepted.
