Kindergarten is one of the best parts of life, and we look forward to sharing this important year with your family. Please see below for a link to our HELLO KINDERGARTEN page.
Kindergarten Page with Steps for Kindergarten Enrollment for 2026
This page is designed to help enroll your child in kindergarten at Wilkesboro Elementary School for the 20226-2027 school year. Students who will be 5 years old on or before August 31, 2026 are eligible for kindergarten.
We enjoyed meeting families at Fun Times on February 23, 2026.
Our next step in kindergarten enrollment is kindergarten screening on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. Please come to WES for kindergarten screening at your appointment time. Your screening visit will take 30-45 minutes. At screening, you can expect:
- your child to work with school staff in short screening activities.
- your child's vision to be screened.
- to visit with school staff to share/review enrollment documents.
- to talk with the school nurse about any medical or dietary needs.
- to sign up for school bus transportation and other programs.
Please bring the following documents to Wilkesboro Elementary by March 11, 2026. This documentation is required for enrollment, even if previously provided for pre-K.
- photo ID of parent/guardian
- certified birth certificate of the child
- proof of residence (copy of bill with your address)
- proof of guardianship (if applicable)
- NC kindergarten health assessment and immunizations (must be completed by child's doctor and submitted by August 2026)
We encourage you to complete the online application prior to screening if possible. Please use this link to complete the online application (required for all students, including pre-k students).
