Kindergarten registration underway for 2024-25 school year

The Francis Howell School District (FHSD) has begun the process of registering students for the 2024-25 Kindergarten class. Missouri law states that students must be five years old before the first day of August to enroll in Kindergarten.

FHSD Kindergarten is a full-day, tuition-free program offered at 10 elementary schools.

The Kindergarten registration process requires proof of residency, student immunization records, student birth certificate, or another document to verify birthdate and parent/guardian ID. For more information, review the Enrollment Checklist.

1. Complete the District’s online registration application. It is very important to note your application number so the school can reference your information.
    
2. Find your school with the school boundary locator tool.
