Spring Break is almost here, and we have some lost and found items that need to be claimed! Please take a look and make sure you have your student pickup their missing items tomorrow! We will be clearing it our after school tomorrow!

To be eligible for Kindergarten, a child must be five years of age on or before August 1, 2026.
Kindergarten registration for Wa-Nee elementary students will begins today, February 3, 2026. Parents must visit the Wa-Nee website and complete an online registration form. That information will be distributed to the school your child should attend based on your home address. The school will send families an email confirmation with details on how to complete the enrollment process. Families with no internet access can contact the school to register by phone.
Kindergarten Round-Up will be on Thursday, March 12. Two sessions will be available for parents to choose from. The first session will begin at 9:30 a.m. and the 2nd session will begin at 5:30 p.m. Students are not expected to attend this event as this will be an informational meeting for parents to hear about Kindergarten expectations and ask questions. Parents can also complete the enrollment process if they have not done so beforehand. Once the enrollment process has been completed, families can schedule their child’s Kindergarten assessment. We recommend doing this as soon as possible as dates / times for assessments are limited. Teachers will be administering the assessment for our incoming kindergarten students in the spring. These assessments will be administered in a 1-on-1 setting.
The following items will be necessary for completing your child’s enrollment process. These items can be emailed or dropped off at the school:
*Legal birth certificate from the County Health Department
(hospital birth certificates are not permitted)
*Immunization (shot) records
*Proof of residency (a current bill with your name and address
on it)
The minimum state vaccine requirements for all children newly enrolled in kindergarten are as follows:
• DTaP: 5 DTaP/DTP/DT (Diphtheria, Pertussis and Tetanus) or 4 if the 4th dose was
administered on or after the 4th birthday.
• Polio: 4 doses - 3 doses of Polio are acceptable for all grade levels if the third dose was given on or after the 4th birthday and at least 6 months after the previous dose with only one type of vaccine used (all OPV or all IPV). For students in grades K-9, the final dose must be administered on or after the 4th birthday and be administered at least 6 months after the previous dose.
• MMR: 2 Measles/Mumps/Rubella
• Hepatitis A: 2 doses
• Hepatitis B: 3 doses of Hepatitis B vaccine (3rd dose must be given on or after 24 weeks of age and no earlier than 16 weeks after the 1st dose).
• Varicella: 2 doses of Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccine on or after the first birthday or physician written documentation of history of chickenpox disease, including month and year of disease.
