In this file photo from April 2015, soon-to-be-kindergartners come together for a story during Kindergarten Roundup at Deerfield School.

Kindergarten Roundup is underway in Lawrence Public Schools, beginning last week with Sunset Hill Elementary.

Each spring, the district invites parents of prospective kindergartners for the upcoming school year to visit schools and meet teachers and staff. This year’s Kindergarten Roundup continues Thursday and Friday with visits at Langston Hughes and Sunflower elementary schools.

Children who are 5 years old, or will turn 5 on or before Aug. 31, are eligible for kindergarten enrollment. Upon enrollment, parents will need to provide the school with proof of residency, a certified copy of their child’s birth certificate, the child’s immunization records, and a health assessment conducted by a physician or health care provider within one year prior to entering school.

Parents can begin the enrollment process online at home or in person; laptops will be available at the schools during Roundup events. Assistance will also be made available for families at the district’s enrollment center, 110 McDonald Drive, or by calling the enrollment center at 330-1921.
