"Countdown to K" is WSFCS's "day" to promote Kindergarten enrollment and encourage families of children who will be 5 by August 31, 2024 to enroll for Kindergarten online. Families will choose your residential school.However, your residential school does not need to be your intended final school choice.Your residential school is where you first complete your enrollment information online.
The district, WSFCS, wants to help get families connected to WSFCS sooner, so planning for our youngest learners can begin. For our residential Speas families, to have your preference for the type of classroom (English only or Spanish Immersion), please enrollsooner rather than later, so we can plan for the needed spaces.
What if I want to choose Speas Global, but I had to register with a different school? (I'm not residential to Speas.)
No problem! The Magnet and Choice period for Kindergarten students is March 16-April 19. During this period, you may apply to Speas through the Magnet Application online. For non-residential families, even if you have another child who attends Speas, you should complete the Magnet Application. The Magnet Application for siblings is the district's process to ensure siblings at Magnet Schools are placed with preference.
What if my child is already enrolled in a WSFCS PreK?
Since your child is already in the PowerSchool system, you will complete a paper copy of the enrollment forms, so Data Managers can update information in PowerSchool. These paper forms can be picked up from the office or requested to be sent home with your child. You will also need to present all documentation once again to the office when you return your paper enrollment documentation. The needed documents are listed on the flyer here.
