Kindergarten enrollment will be held May 12, 13 and 14 for Waynesville R-VI students

Kindergarten enrollment will be held online on May 12, 13 and 14 with parents using an online Google form. Please note that each elementary school has its own form. The link to the Google docs for kindergarten registration are listed after step 6 in the Steps for Registration. 

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible to attend kindergarten, a student must be age 5 before Aug. 1, 2020.  According to Missouri law, a child is eligible for admission to kindergarten if the child reaches the age of 5 prior Aug. 1, 2020, or if the child is a military dependent who has successfully completed a state-accredited pre-kindergarten program or has attended a state-accredited kindergarten program in another state. Please note there are no exceptions made to this state law.

Registration process

Parents will need to know which school their child will attend, which is based on where they live.  The district has five elementary schools  –  East, Freedom, Partridge, Thayer and Wood. The streets they serve are listed on the 2020-21 Enrollment Information Form. When you click on this link, locate your street first and then identify your child’s school assignment. You will need to remember the name of your child’s school so that you can complete the correct Google form.

Required documents

In addition to knowing which school their child will attend, parents will need the following items:

* Please scan the item or take a photo of each completed document so that you will be prepared to upload the documents at the end of the Google form before you click submit. The discipline, transportation and FERPA/Directory Information forms have links above. Print the forms, fill them out and sign them. You will upload these documents at the end of the Google form.  

Proof of Residence

Any ONE of the following documents in the parent/guardian’s name meets the state’s proof of residence requirements:

  • property tax statement
  • utility bill/agreement (must be dated within the last 60 days). Utilities include water, electric, trash, gas and home phone/internet. Cell phone agreements may not be used to meet this criteria.
  • real estate contract
  • rental agreement/receipt
  • military housing contract

If you have questions about these documents, please contact 573-842-2092.
