4K families asked to enroll by May 1

Posted April 24, 2023

The Plymouth School District encourages families of students who will begin 4-year-old kindergarten in the fall to enroll them now, as staffing levels are being set for the 2023-24 school year.

Children who will be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 are eligible for 4K, which features enriching curriculum in a classroom setting four days a week. The nurturing environment is designed to foster independence, encourage creativity, provide for social growth, and promote new learning.

Every effort will be made to provide placement information (i.e. school location and morning or afternoon) by June 1 to families who have enrolled by May 1. However, 4K enrollments will be accepted throughout the summer.

To enroll a child in 4K

Families new to the district should begin by requesting enrollment access.
Families that already have a Skyward Family Access account with the Plymouth School District (from Summer School or an older child) should log into Skyward Family Access and select "New Student Enrollment."

Please visit the Enrollment section at the top of our Enrollment & Registration webpage for more information.
