When registering, ensure that you choose the correct year from the drop-down options: 2022-2023 for this year or 2023-2024 for next year.
Southeast Polk uses online registration (OLR) to register students. We hope you will find this process convenient and time-saving. We ask that you complete OLR during the month of February, which will allow our staff to complete the placement process in a timely manner.
Please register/update ALL students, in your family when registering your preschooler.
We will do our best to honor home building placements for all PK students. We give higher priority to students registered with required paperwork prior to May 31, 2023.
Please note: Four-year-old preschool is available to all students of Southeast Polk District families. Four-year-old preschool is free to all students through the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Grant. We are not currently accepting registrations for 3-year-old students due to increased enrollment. Children must be 4 years old on or before September 15, 2023, to be eligible for preschool in the 2023-2024 school year.
