Kindergarten Enrollment
2024-2025 School Year
School District Residents
If you have a child turning 5 (five) years old on or before September 1, of this year; and they are not currently enrolled in a School District of Janesville Pre-school for Janesville (P4J) or Early Childhood (EC) program, it is time to enroll in the Janesville Public School District. Enrollment will take place by appointment only, at the Educational Services Center located at 527 S. Franklin St. (administration building) in the New Student Enrollment office. You may call 608-743-5011 to make an appointment to enroll.
If you cannot attend the enrollment period please come in as soon as possible to enroll. Enrollment in the district is required for participation in orientation. When you enroll, you will need your child’s birth certificate for proof of age, proof of residency (top portion of a utility bill, or current lease) to determine school assignment, immunization records and photo identification. If you have questions on general enrollment, please contact the New Student Enrollment office at 743-5011 during regular office hours, 7:30am - 4:30 pm.
Requests for School Transfer/Placement within the School District (yellow forms) for incoming kindergarten students should be submitted through the enrollment process. Forms are available at all schools, as well as at the Educational Services Center. If you have questions regarding this process contact Deen Hartley at 743-5152.
The status of requests will be determined by January 15, of that year and the application is turned in by December 15th. If you have a student currently attending a school under a School Transfer/Placement within the School District, it does not automatically qualify your kindergarten student for attendance at the same school; however, siblings are generally assigned to the same school. In order for your kindergarten student to attend the same school as a sibling, you must submit a request during the Kindergarten Enrollment time frame.
Non-District Residents
If you are a non-resident of the School District of Janesville and have a child turning 5 (five) years old on or before September 1, of this year, and would like your child to attend the School District of Janesville, you must also apply for OPEN ENROLLMENT.
The timeline for Open Enrollment is February 1 to April 30, of this year. Currently open enrolled non-residents in a P4J or EC program do not need to re-apply. If you have questions regarding the Open Enrollment process, please contact Deen Hartley at 743-5152.
