Kindergarten registration underway for 2023-24 school year

The Francis Howell School District (FHSD) has begun the process of registering students for the 2023-24 Kindergarten class. Missouri law states that students must be five years old before the first day of August to enroll in Kindergarten.

FHSD Kindergarten is a full-day, tuition-free program offered at 10 elementary schools.

The Kindergarten registration process requires proof of residency, student immunization records, student birth certificate or other document to verify birthdate and parent/guardian ID. For more information, review the Enrollment Checklist.
