Weber School District is excited to welcome new Kindergarteners to our schools for the 2025-2026 school year. We know that the transition to kindergarten is a significant milestone for both students and families. Our dedicated teams are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment to ensure a positive start to your child’s academic journey.

We are excited to offer a full-day kindergarten option to all our students as well as a half-day option to accommodate the needs of our families. Here is a brief overview of each program. 

Full-day kindergarten: Students attending full-day kindergarten will follow a schedule equivalent to the other grades in the school. They will receive comprehensive instruction on the state-approved standards in all content areas, including the arts, PE, and library.

Half-day kindergarten:  Students attending either a half-day kindergarten class or a half-day kindergarten option within a full-day kindergarten class will attend school for part of the day as determined by individual schools and will receive instruction that prioritizes the state-approved standards for the content areas of English language arts and mathematics as required by R277-730. Please note that midday transportation will not be provided for those attending half-day kindergarten options.

There are 5 steps to registering for Kindergarten

Step 1: Review the Kindergarten Entrance Requirements. To be eligible for Kindergarten entrance for the 2025-2026 school year, a child must be five years old before September 2, 2025 as mandated by Utah Code 53G-4-402.

A school may enroll a child in kindergarten who does not meet the age requirement described if the child meets the following two criteria:

(1) moves to Utah from a different state in which the child, during the relevant school year:
(A) was a resident, and
(B) was enrolled in kindergarten in accordance with the previous state's age requirements for
kindergarten enrollment;
(2) transfers to the enrolling school after the beginning of the same school year. 

In accordance with the updated Utah Code 53G-7-203, students are now also required to be toilet-trained before being enrolled in kindergarten.

Step 2: Complete Pre-registration. Pre-registration can be completed as early as February 1, 2025, but no later than February 28, 2025. Simply fill out the online Pre-registration Form or visit your boundary school to request a paper copy.

Step 3: Provide Required Entrance Documents.

The following documents are required and must be submitted to the school. A child can not start school until these documents are submitted. Parents can bring these documents to the school soon after completing the Pre-registration in Step 2 or may bring them to the in-person Orientation session mentioned in Step 4.

1. Parent or Guardian Driver's License or state-issued identification card- Only a parent or guardian can register a student

2. Student's Birth Certificate bearing a seal- This must be an original document or a certified copy. Birth certificates are used to verify that a student meets the age requirements. Weber School District may accept alternate documents for age verification. Please work directly with your child's boundary school if this accommodation is needed.

3. Current Immunization Record

4. Proof of Residency- Proof of residency includes any two forms of any of the following in any combination  (e.g., one document from Section 1 and one document from Section 2; or two documents from Section 2, etc.):

      • legal affidavit from landlord affirming tenancy, stating the duration of tenancy, and record of most recent rent payment, if available, or statement in the landlord’s affidavit that s/he is not charging the family rent (See Residence Disclosure);

      • other documentation acceptable to the district that confirms legal guardian’s primary residence; or

      • If none of the above is available, a legal affidavit from the leader of a recognized, established religious unit (ward, stake, parish, mosque, synagogue, or other established religious unit) affirming that the family lives at the address designated by the parent.

   2. Documents dated within the past 60 days:

      • letter from approved government agency, such as assisted housing, food stamps, or unemployment payments;

Step 4: Attend In-person Orientation. Each school organizes registration/orientation sessions to familiarize parents and guardians with our Kindergarten programs, curriculum, and facilities.
