Kindergarten offers of enrollment begin. Emails will be sent with links to the official on-line Enrollment Form. Applicants will have five (5) business days from the date the email was sent to return the signed Enrollment Form with a photocopy of the child’s birth certificate.

• Prior to the Start of School – Parents must schedule Early Childhood Screening and registration appointments within your own resident school district.
  • Early Childhood Screening is a mandated program for all children entering kindergarten in Minnesota. The district census list of 3- to 4-year-olds is used to obtain names and send notices about screening dates.
    • If you are unsure as to whether your child is on the census, you may check with the Stillwater’s Enrollment Office at 651.351.8412. Appointments for the screening typically last one hour and are held at the Early Childhood Family Center, 1111 Holcombe Street S., Stillwater MN 55082, and can be made by calling 651.351.4022.
    • If you do not live within District 834, check with your own resident school district’s enrollment office.

First- through sixth-grade offers of enrollment are made based on class openings using the confirmed returning student list and established new student waiting list. Emails will be sent with links to the online Official Enrollment Form. Applicants will have five (5) business days from the date the email was sent to return the signed Official Enrollment Form.

As long as spaces are available, River Grove plans to continuously enroll students for the 2019-20 school year. If a student enrolls in River Grove for the 2018-19 year after February 8, 2019 (when offers of enrollment for the next year go out to new applicants), and the class becomes full because of new applicants, that student is placed on the bottom of the waiting list for the 2019-20 school year.
