USD 489 will host the district-wide “Kindergarten Round-Up” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 1  in the Hays High School cafeteria. This meeting is open for parents and guardians only. Parents of students who will have children 5 years old on or before Aug. 31 are encouraged to attend.

Information will be shared with parents and guardians to prepare your incoming student(s) for kindergarten. This will be the only “Kindergarten Round-Up” hosted by the district.
