Kindergarten Enrollment Paperwork

Our Kindergarten Programs

Roseville Area Schools offers free, full-day kindergarten at all of our elementary schools. Students are automatically placed in a full-day kindergarten program when completing the enrollment process.

Our six neighborhood schools offer kindergarten programs. Use the district map to locate your neighborhood school. If you're still not sure, please contact the Central Enrollment Office at 651-635-1626.

Check out the elementary school websites for a glimpse of what kindergarten is like in each of our elementary schools:

Enrollment Lottery

Due to their unique programming, four of our schools use a lottery in their enrollment process. They are:

Parkview Center School (K-8)
Dual Language Immersion Program (Spanish Immersion located at Little Canada Elementary)
Harambee E lementary School (year-round, K-6, transportation provided in selected east metro counties)
SPARK Program at Central Park (STEM)

Siblings of current students must still apply for the lottery. All schools will offer sibling preference in placement. This means based on space availability, siblings of current students will be placed into the school/program before the lottery drawing. If space is not available at the time of the lottery, siblings will receive preference on the waitlist.

The enrollment lottery for the 2023-2024 school year will be open beginning November 1, 2022. The lottery drawing will take place the week of January 31, 2023. Families will be notified of the lottery results by U.S. mail the week of February 6, 2023.

To submit an application for the enrollment lottery, CLICK HERE or print out and complete the application below.

Please contact Central Enrollment (enrollment@isd623.org or 651-635-1626) if you have any questions about the lottery process.
