Enroll in Kindergarten

Enrollment for the 2023-24 School Year is Now Open

Burien, Wash. – Do you know a child who will be 5 years old on or before August 31? Maybe it’s your neighbor, family friend or even your own child. Spread the word—now is the time to enroll them for kindergarten for the 2023-24 school year.

Starting school is a big step for your child and family. Enrolling early helps schools to connect with students early and ensures the right number of staff are at each school. Students will gain access to free kindergarten welcome events and readiness programs.

“Kindergarten is a huge milestone for children and families. We can’t wait to meet our new students and connect them with their schools to start this new chapter,” said PreK and Elementary Success Director Kathy Emerick.

Students have the opportunity to become bilingual and biliterate. Highline offers Spanish and Vietnamese dual language programs starting in kindergarten. Learn about the benefits of being bilingual and how to enroll.
