Per Board Policy 501.15, applications will be considered late if they are received after June 1. Late registrations will not be considered until all other placements have been made.
What is Needed for Registration?
Please follow the kindergarten registration checklist, as a guide detailing the required documents. Most of the documents can be uploaded into your online application. However, if you do not have the capability to upload documents or if you need copies made, please submit documents starting February 5 to your neighborhood elementary or the registrar at the district office, 306 SW School St. The required documents are:
- Home Language Survey
- Proof of Residency
- Proof of Child’s Birth Date
Medical documentation will be collected at a later date.
Informational Meeting – Updates to Come
This year, the kindergarten parent informational meeting will be conducted virtually. This meeting will be held on April 22 at 6:30 p.m. More information regarding how to join will be shared at a later date.
Due to increased elementary enrollment and limited space, parents are encouraged to enroll their upcoming kindergartener based on the process set forth by the district.

Mask Up for Ankeny Schools
Ankeny,
We.Need.You.
It will take our whole community pulling together to slow the spread and help keep our students in school. We’ve been hearing it for months, but now is the time to go back to mitigation basics.
- Wear Your Mask
- When Sick, Stay Home
- Wash Your Hands
- Watch Your Distance
This week, we’re launching a #MaskupforAnkeny campaign alongside the @CityofAnkeny. Partner with us by downloading an email signature and social media graphic at the link below and answer the question “What do you mask up for?” #MaskUpforAnkeny #MaskUpforAnkenySchools #SlowtheSpread

Thursday – Group 1 & Friday – Group 2
School will start at 7:55 and end at 2:55. Doors will open at 7:40 for students to enter the building. Every Wednesday will be a late start of 10:10. Students in Group 1 will attend on Thursday and Group 2 on Friday. If your child plans to eat breakfast they will go directly into the cafeteria, otherwise students will enter through their teacher’s assigned door. Due to this year’s unusual circumstances families will drop their child off outside of their teacher’s door without entering the building. You can find a map of teachers’ doors at the following link: Entrance and Exit Map.
Hybrid Attendance – Participation from Home
Parents and students are able to go into Infinite Campus and mark their child’s attendance/participation while they are at home learning in the hybrid model. If a parent or child doesn’t mark their participation, SE staff are able to go back in and mark the attendance based on the child’s evidence of learning or completed work from the at home day. This is a new way to collect attendance while student’s are away, so we are here to help if your child’s attendance doesn’t get marked. Here are the directions to help families mark their child’s participation on the at home days: http://Instructions for Parents/Students
