2026-27 Incoming Kindergarten Registration
It is an exciting time of year as the Issaquah School District begins to reach out to our community in preparation welcoming our next class of kindergarten students. The Issaquah School District offers full day kindergarten at no cost to all students. If you have a child who will be a kindergartener for the 2026-2027 school year, please visit the ISD
New Student Enrollment website
. Students who are turning 5 years old by August 31, 2026, are eligible for enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year.
Schools plan to meet with incoming Kindergarten families in January 2026. Schools will share this information in their electronic bulletins and on their website. Connect with your neighborhood school for more details about that meeting. This meeting will prepare families to complete the online registration. Registration begins February 2, 2026. Please visit the
ISD New Student Enrollment website
to begin your incoming kindergartner's registration. Once the online portion is complete, you will work with your neighborhood school to complete the enrollment process.
If you cannot access the online application, please call or visit your neighborhood school for assistance.
Please Note: Students in the
Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program

School offices are open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. to assist you. Please note for your convenience, arrival and dismissal times are very high traffic times for the school office. Picking up or submitting required documents at this time may result in longer wait times.

than their neighborhood school may submit an
Open Enrollment application
