My child has never attended kindergarten and will be 6 years old before October 1. Can we still enroll in kindergarten for the 2021-22 school year?
Yes, you may apply for kindergarten at the school(s) of your choice.
My 6-year-old attended school outside of Jeffco but we would like to attend kindergarten in Jeffco.
If your child has already attended kindergarten in another district/school, and you would like them to attend again, reach out to the Jeffco school you are interested in attending directly to begin the retention process.
What if my child attended kindergarten in Jeffco and I would like them to have another year in kindergarten?
If your child has already attended kindergarten and you would like them to attend again, reach out to the school directly to begin the retention process.
