Kindergarten Registration
WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN!
Starting kindergarten is an exciting milestone, and we’re excited to welcome your family to Rogers Public Schools! Our schools provide safe, supportive learning environments where students build strong foundations, discover a love of learning, and grow academically and socially.
Ready to get started? Follow the steps below to register your child for kindergarten.
Begin the registration process by completing the district’s online enrollment form. Families can complete the form from a computer, tablet, or mobile device.
Before finalizing your child’s registration, gather the required enrollment documents listed below. Having these documents ready will help make the registration process as smooth as possible.
After completing the online enrollment form, families will need to finalize registration and provide the required documents. The District’s spring Kindergarten Registration event has ended, so families should visit their child’s boundary elementary school to complete the registration process. Incoming kindergarten students will also complete a brief assessment before the start of the school year to help schools prepare for their arrival.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED
-
Families will need to provide one document that verifies the child’s age. Accepted documents include:
- Birth certificate or other approved certification of date of birth
- Statement from a local registrar or county recorder certifying the child’s date of birth
- Attested baptismal certificate
- Passport
- Affidavit of the date and place of birth completed by the child’s parent or guardian
- Previous school records
- United States military identification
-
Families must provide proof of residence within the Rogers Public Schools attendance boundaries. Address verification may be provided with one of the following:
- Current real estate property tax receipt showing the name and address of the student’s parent or legal guardian
- Current rental or lease agreement showing the name and address of the student’s parent or legal guardian
- Current utility bill from a utility company showing the name and address of the student’s parent or legal guardian
Families who do not have one of these documents may visit the RPS Welcome Office, 605 W. Dyke Road, to complete an affidavit.
-
Each student will need a unique identification number. Families may provide the student’s Social Security number or request that the school district assign an identification number.
-
Students must provide documentation of age-appropriate immunizations required by the Arkansas Department of Health or an approved exemption.
Kindergarten students are required to have age-appropriate immunizations, including two doses of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, unless an approved exemption applies.
-
Students entering kindergarten must provide proof of a physical examination completed within the past 24 months.
NOT SURE WHICH SCHOOL YOUR CHILD WILL ATTEND?
Kindergarten students attend school based on their home address and the district’s attendance boundaries. Use the district’s school locator to identify your child’s boundary school.
KINDERGARTEN WAIVER
Families who choose to delay kindergarten enrollment may submit a Kindergarten Waiver to the RPS Welcome Office at 605 W. Dyke Road.
