We look forward to welcoming your child to kindergarten! On this page you will find a sample gradual entry schedule. 

Register Your Child for Kindergarten  

Note: registration information and forms are on the SD8 district website and you can bring your completed documents to the Canyon-Lister Elementary School office for processing.

Sample Gradual Entry Schedule (2026 schedule coming later this year)

To help support your child’s transition into kindergarten, we follow a gradual entry schedule like the example below from 2025. This approach allows children to ease into full days and become comfortable with classroom routines over the first couple of weeks. Kindergarten students will begin attending full-time starting September 2026.
