The Kershaw County School District (KCSD) will open its online pre-registration process for four- and five-year-old kindergarten classes for the 2024-2025 school year on February 1. 

Families are able to complete the process online but can also attend in-person help sessions if needed on Thursday, February 15. The online system will be open February 1-29.

This online Kindergarten Round-Up is for families of four- and five-year-olds who are new to KCSD and will be four or five by Sept. 1, 2024. Students qualify to attend 4K based on family income levels or academic needs.

Families of students who have been served in either 4K or 5K this year do not participate in the Round-Up process. All new and returning KCSD students will complete registration this summer.

Families can access the online paperwork at www.kcsdschools.net/roundup. Families who need assistance with completing the process can attend a help session on February 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 3 to 6 p.m. at the school where their child is zoned. To determine a child's zoned school, visit www.kcsdschools.net/zoning.

Families can upload vehicle, financial and residence documents needed to verify residency along with a parent’s photo ID, recent utility bill, child’s birth certificate and child’s certificate of immunization. If applicable, a Medicaid card and SNAP acceptance letter can also be uploaded. Documents can be digitally scanned or photographed. Each document will need to be uploaded individually.

For more information, contact KCSD Elementary Education Director Ginger Catoe at virginia.catoe@kcsdschools.net or 432-8416 ext.1264.
