Kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open!

Kirksville R-III Kindergarten Screening

Kirksville R-III Parents as Teachers (Missouri Curriculum Partners) is offering FREE kindergarten screenings. A screening is a great way to get a snapshot of your child's current skills and some ideas for skills to work on to make kindergarten entry more successful.

Screenings are free and cover developmental skills and health related needs. Screenings will take place at the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC).

Children must turn five BEFORE August 1, 2023 to be eligible.

Welcome to the Kirksville R-III school district!  Online registration is available for both new and existing families who are registering a new student.  This includes registering new students for the current school year, as well as new students for the upcoming school year.  

In addition, all Kirksville R-III families are required to complete the annual verification process (over the summer) before the start of a new school year.  Annual verification involves updating several sections within the Tyler SIS Portal, including contact information, permission forms, and medical records.   This verification eliminates quite a bit of the beginning of the year paperwork for families.  

A few things you need to know:

• NOTE: Registration for the 2023-2024 school year for new students is now open. To be eligible for Kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year, students must turn five BEFORE August 1, 2023.

• It is important to complete the entire online registration process for your student.  If you do not complete the process, your student will not be actively registered.  You will receive an email confirmation when your registration has been processed.  

• Any required documents for registration (proof of residency, immunizations, birth certificate) can be uploaded during the online process.  If you would rather, copies can be brought in person to the Board of Education building located at 1901 E Hamilton St, Kirksville. Registration is not complete until all required documents are provided. It is the parents responsibility to provide all required documents.

• If you need assistance in completing the online registration process, including access to technology, please contact the district registrar at 660-665-7774.
