Davenport Community School District Kindergarten – 8th Grade Registration
Our Elementary schools serve K-6th grade students while our intermediate schools serve 7th & 8th grade students. To enroll your new student into Davenport Community Schools please complete Online Registration. Families with currently enrolled students will complete Online Registration through their Parent Portal account. Initial registration of new students requires additional information from families including, proof of birth, proof of immunizations and health screenings, proof of address, and general family information.
Kindergarten Enrollment
To enroll in kindergarten for the upcoming school year a child must be five years of age on or before September 15th of the year you want to enroll. An Attorney General Opinion states this is the law and cannot be waived. Schools will host a Kindergarten Roundup to introduce families and students to their new school in March prior to the year of enrollment. Completing Online Registration is the first step in the registration process. Please note that for new kindergartners, parents/guardians are required to complete online registration and submit these additional documents:
- Proof of date of birth such as birth certificate, baptismal record, hospital certificate, visa or passport, immunization record, or adoption paperwork.
