Frequently Asked Questions

Does the school accept nonresident enrollments?

Kansas law requires the board to allow nonresident students to enroll in and attend the schools of the district if the board’s capacity determination finds there are open seats for such students. In order to determine the district’s capacity to accept nonresident students at each grade level in each district school, the board has adopted policy JBCC.

Details concerning the open enrollment and continued enrollment processes for nonresident students may be found in policy JBCC, while general processes on enrollment documentation, assignment to buildings and classes, etc., may be found in board policy JBC.

What immunizations are required for my student to attend Kindergarten?

Is technology in the district available to Kindergartners?
