You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers
Who soar to high heights!

2026-2027 KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION BEGINS
Registration for children entering kindergarten will begin on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 and will continue through Friday, March 20, 2026. Children who will turn five years old on or before August 31, 2026 will need to be registered between those dates. Parents must register their child(ren) online at www.lcsnc.org and click on Kindergarten Enrollment 2026-2027.
After online kindergarten registration has been completed, parents will be contacted by the school for an appointment for Kindergarten Entry Screening. The documents listed below will need to be provided to the school at the time of the Kindergarten Entry Screening appointment.

2 proofs of residency – i.e., Active NC Driver’s License, Photo ID issued by state DMV, Utility Bill in person’s name (cell phone bills will not be accepted), Lease Agreement, Real Property Tax Bill
Documented evidence of immunizations as per state law. Please see your healthcare provider or the Lincoln County Health Department with specific questions regarding this.
A health assessment – This should be completed by your healthcare provider prior to the start of school, but must be completed no later than 30 days after school begins. Failure to provide this information will result in the child being excluded from school. Assessment forms are available at each school. All sections of the assessment (including developmental, hearing, and vision) must be completed.
A picture ID will be required of the parent or guardian registering the student.
Parents of children who need immunizations or a health assessment should take their child to their health care provider or to the Lincoln County Health Department as soon as possible to complete these requirements prior to the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year.
