Kindergarten Screening will have new format
Bring your kindergarten-age child along for "all in one" approach
This year, the District is introducing a new format for Kindergarten Screening.  You should bring your kindergarten-age child to the event to participate in the screening activities. 

In the past, the District conducted separate Round-up and Screening events.  This year for the convenience of our families, those activities are combined on one date, which is now called Kindergarten Student Screening Night.

Parents of children who will turn age 5 before Aug. 1, 2020, are invited and encouraged to attend Kindergarten Student Screening Night to receive information and complete registration documents. Please bring your kindergarten-age child to the event!

Kindergarten Screening will take place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on these dates:
  • March 31 (Bridle Ridge Elementary, Creekmoor Elementary, Raymore Elementary, and Timber Creek Elementary)
  • April 2 (Eagle Glen Elementary, Peculiar Elementary, and Stonegate Elementary)
Please go to the school your child will attend for the 2020-2021 school year. If you are uncertain which school your child will attend, call the Administrative Services Center at 816-892-1300.
