My child currently attends a preschool program in Osseo Area Schools. Do I need to complete the kindergarten enrollment process and how will my kindergartner be impacted by attendance boundary changes?

For most preschoolers, enrollment in preschool does not automatically transfer to kindergarten and parents will need to complete the kindergarten enrollment process. Beginning in school year 2026-27, attendance boundary changes may impact which school your child attend for kindergarten. Exceptions include if your child is enrolled in Free, Half-Day, Every Day prekindergarten or has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and receives Special Education. Contact the Enrollment Center at 763-585-7350 or EnrollmentCenter@district279.org; or your child’s Special Education case manager if you have questions or to confirm your child’s kindergarten enrollment status. Please utilize the current school finder tool to confirm which district elementary school your household is assigned to attend through the 2025-26 school year. Next, refer to disrict279.org/boundaries to see if your household is impacted by any of the updated proposed scenarios for the 2026-27 school year moving forward.
