Let’s get your Little Eagles pre-enrolled to start Kindergarten in August 2026!

Students who will be 5 years old BEFORE Aug. 1, 2026 and whose families live within district boundaries are eligible to attend Joplin Schools Kindergarten programs. Eligibility for Transitional Kindergarten will also be determined during the pre-enrollment and screening process. Current JEC and Flight School students do not need to pre-enroll; these families will be contacted to schedule screenings soon.

Pre-enrollment begins online and will be completed with an in-person screening and document delivery. Find full pre-enrollment instructions on our Kindergarten Enrollment page or call 417-625-5200 for help.

We can't wait to meet the incoming class of 2039!
