Enrollment Caps

The Evergreen Public Schools continues to grow at a record pace, and several of our schools have reached capacity in past years, requiring that the enrollment at those schools be capped at certain grade levels.

When a school’s enrollment is capped, as parents of new students arrive the secretaries of that school will provide information on space availability in the grade level(s) that the parent is requesting. If there is space available to enroll their child, this will be done immediately. If not, the parents will be given the option of placing the name of their child on a waiting list. Those parents will then be directed to enroll their child at the designated overflow school. Transportation will be provided.

Schools subject to Enrollment Caps have signs posted outside their front entrances notifying parents of the cap and listing a phone number to call for enrollment information. If you have questions about enrollment caps, please call your local school for more information.

Kindergarten and First Grade Entry

A child must be five-years-old on or before August 31st, to be admitted to kindergarten for the new school year. To enroll in the first grade, students must be 6-years-old on or before August 31. See "Kindergarten Registration." No exceptions will be made. Birth certificates must be presented at the time a child is enrolled.
