KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT

Online registration for kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year opens April 1, 2025.

Students entering kindergarten at District 2 attend one of two schools: Richmond Grade School or Spring Grove Elementary. If you need help or are unsure which school your student will attend, take a look at our boundary map. You can also reach out to one of the school offices or the Transportation Department.

A Kindergarten Kickoff will be held at both schools on Tuesday, June 3, 2025 for all incoming kindergarteners.

Spring Grove Elementary: 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 815-678-6750 to set up a screening time for your student.

Richmond Grade School: Three sessions will be held. Call 815-678-4717 to schedule your student's session.

Session 2: 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Session 3: 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
