Students who will be turning five years old on or before December 31, 2024, are eligible to start Kindergarten in September 2024.
Due to the growth of our school population over the last several years, please note that we are no longer able to accept registrations from families residing outside of our catchment area.
Families registering their child for Kindergarten who live outside of the Richardson catchment area, and who have other children already attending Richardson will still be accepted, if space permits. However, they must register at their catchment school and submit a Non-Catchment Application Form to their catchment school.
