Why It Matters
At Richmond Public Schools, we believe kindergarten should be amazing, high-quality, and fun.
Being Day 1 ready sets your child up for success — academically, socially, and emotionally. That means:
-
Completing enrollment early
-
Scheduling required health and vaccination appointments
-
Connecting with your school community
-
Starting your child's academic journey confident and prepared
When families enroll early, students begin school ready to learn — and schools are ready to welcome them.
