We offer 3-year-old preschool, free 4-year-old preschool, and wrap-around childcare at Corse Early Childhood Center, where our Grayhound pups learn and build upon skills that will set the stage for future educational success.
What to bring to registration
What to know about immunization requirements
Per the Iowa Department of Public Health, all students must be up to date on immunization in order to attend school.
Proof of up-to-date immunizations or Medical/Religion exemption waiver must be turned in prior to the first day of school.
Students will not be able to start/attend school if immunizations are not up to date.
Kindergarten registration
Incoming kindergartners who have not already registered for the 2024-25 school year may register by submitting paper registration forms to either the Administration Building, 1429 West Ave., or the school they will attend.
They also may register during On-Site Registration Day, which will be from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Aug. 5 at Edward Stone Middle School.
