Kindergarten Registration Now Open

Registration is for kindergarten students that will be five years old on or before July 31, 2021. If your child is a current ELC or ECC student at Nixa Public Schools, you do not need to complete the online kindergarten registration. Online registration begins Monday, March 1 and the link will be available at nixakindergarten.net. You can upload all required documents during the online registration process. If you choose not to upload your documents online you will be given an opportunity to schedule an appointment at the end of the online registration and you will be required to bring your documentation to the Registration Center. Your scheduled appointment will take approximately 15-30 minutes. Your child does NOT need to attend kindergarten registration.

Kindergarten Screening: All students that will be attending kindergarten on August 23, 2021, including current ELC and ECC Nixa Public Schools’ preschool students, will want to attend Kindergarten Screening.
