Kindergarten registration for the 2025/26 school year will open for all schools in Rocky View Schools (RVS) on Monday, Feb. 3.
Superintendent of Schools, Greg Luterbach, said staff are look forwarding to welcoming the next cohort of new learners.
“The beginning of Kindergarten is an exciting time for families, as well as our staff, as these students embark on the first steps of their learning journey," Luterbach explained. "Every year, we look forward to meeting these new students and building a foundation with them that will help them achieve their very best in the years to come.”
In RVS, Kindergarten is offered as a half-day program in most elementary schools. Select schools have a full-day Kindergarten program on alternating days. Later in the spring, children will be placed in morning or afternoon programs based on circumstances outlined by parents and available space.
Although registration will continue throughout the year, registering early helps families and schools plan for a successful transition and provides RVS necessary information to have teachers and resources in place.
Alberta’s standardized age of Kindergarten entry requires students to turn five years old by Dec. 31 of the school year they begin Kindergarten. This means children born between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2020, can register for Kindergarten for the 2025/26 school year.
All new registrations for Kindergarten must be completed through SchoolEngage, RVS’ online registration system.
During operational hours, schools will allow access to a computer and assist families who otherwise do not have access to a computer.
