Kindergarten Registration: It’s as Easy as 1-2-3…
Do you know anyone with a Kindergarten student? Kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 school year is now open!
There’s an easy five-step process for parents wanting to register their child for kindergarten:
- Determine eligibility.
- Identify your local school.
- Gather documents.
- Fill out forms.
- Schedule an appointment.
After the appointment at the school (the student and one caregiver must be present), the student will be ready for orientation or any other introductory events each school may host. Read more about the registration process. For more information, call Erin Silvan at 703-262-3100.
💻 Try Online Registration
Parents may register their children online for kindergarten through 12th grade. Learn how to begin the online registration process. When registering, parents will create (or log in to an existing) SIS ParentVUE account.
Dogwood's Kindergarten Orientation is April 10th from 4:30 - 6:00 pm. We hope to see you there!
