It's time to mark your calendars for Kindergarten Roundup!  Visit the elementary school your child will attend on Tuesday, April 1 or Thursday, April 3 between 3:30 - 6:30 p.m.  

It is imperative to have all Kindergarten students attend so the schools may prepare enough teachers to keep the class sizes small. MVCSC will have full-day kindergarten only and students eligible for kindergarten registration must have attained the age of five (5) on or before August 1st. There is an appeal process available for students who will turn five (5) after August 1.

STEP 1:

Online Registration

To expedite the registration process at Kindergarten Roundup, the online portion of kindergarten registration will be open after March 17 at 9 a.m. **NOTE: If your child is currently enrolled in our Mini-Marauder Preschool, they are already in Skyward and therefore you can SKIP STEP ONE. (You will complete registration in July with all K-12 returning students.)
 

• New in-district Mt. Vernon families (families with zero children currently attending a MV school) should complete the online registration for their kindergarten student after March 17 at 9 a.m. by visiting the New Student Online Enrollment
   
• Current Mt. Vernon families wishing to register a new kindergarten student should log into their Skyward Family Access and select “New Student Online Enrollment.”
   
• Out-of-district/transfer students need to register their student as stated above for current or new families, as well as apply during the out-of-district/transfer application window in April and May

STEP 2:

Come to the Kindergarten Roundup!

Students and their parents should visit Fortville Elementary (8414 N. 200 W., Fortville, IN 46040, 317-485-3180), McCordsville Elementary (7177 N. 600 W., McCordsville, IN 46055, 317-336-7760), or Mt. Comfort Elementary (5694 W. 300 N., Greenfield, IN 46140, 317-894-7667) on Tuesday, April 1 OR Thursday, April 3 anytime between 3:30 - 6:30 p.m. We recommend setting aside approximately 30 to 45 minutes for your visit to enjoy the full Kindergarten Roundup experience. 

At the start of the event, one of our friendly staff members will briefly take your child to a nearby room for a short kindergarten readiness activity. This gives us a chance to get to know your child a little better in a fun, low-key way. While we won’t be offering full building tours at this time, you'll still have a great opportunity to meet our staff and learn about kindergarten.
