Newberg and Dundee elementary schools are opening their doors to entering kindergarten students and their parents at a registration event on Thursday, March 12, 2015. Kindergarten registration provides an opportunity to meet teachers and school staff, and learn more about the kindergarten program, optional programs, transportation and before and after school childcare.

When:  Thursday, March 12, 2015
Time:  3:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Beginning in September 2015, Newberg kindergarten classes will be full day, operating on the same schedule as grades one through five.

The school district offers three additional program options for kindergarten students. Each program is by application only.

Half-day kindergarten - a solid foundation for academic achievement and success in elementary school. Location will be determined based on program interest.
