Kindergarten Enrollment Now Open At YSD For The Upcoming School Year - 03/27/26
YAKIMA, WA — The Yakima School District has opened kindergarten enrollment for the upcoming school year and invites families to begin the process for children who will be 5 years old by August 31.
Starting kindergarten is a meaningful milestone for both children and families. Enrolling early gives families time to prepare for the transition, from establishing routines to becoming familiar with their child’s school. It also ensures families receive important updates, school information, and next steps well before the first day.
Completing enrollment this spring can provide peace of mind heading into the summer months. With school plans already in place, families can focus on enjoying the season while knowing their child is ready for the year ahead.
Early enrollment also allows schools to prepare classrooms, staffing, and student supports to best meet the needs of incoming students, helping create a smooth and welcoming start for every child.
Families are encouraged to enroll at their neighborhood school, where they can connect directly with school staff and begin building a relationship with their child’s school community. Families may also complete enrollment online at ysd7.org/enrollment or visit Student Enrollment Services at 104 N 4th Ave. Yakima, WA 98902.
Families who would like support with the enrollment process are invited to attend the district’s Family Enrollment Night on April 20 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Davis High School, where staff will be available to assist with enrollment and answer questions.
For additional support, families may contact Student Enrollment Services at 509-573-7021 or visit the office at 104 N 4th Ave in Yakima.
The Yakima School District looks forward to welcoming its newest students and partnering with families as they begin this important step in their child’s educational journey.
