Calling all future and current Cardinals!

• Kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 school year is open! If your child will be 5 by July 31, 2026, and plans to attend kindergarten in the fall, please complete the online registration. 

   

• Preschool registration for the 2026-2027 school year is open! Children who will be ages 3 or 4 before July 31, 2026, and live within the Crete Public Schools District are eligible to attend. Please complete the online registration to enroll your child. Priority enrollment is given to children who are most at-risk and most in need of early childhood education programs and services. Once children who meet one or more of the enrollment priorities have a secured spot in the early childhood program, enrollment can be open to other children within the community.

   

• April 1st, the 2026-2027 Annual Student Information Update for all students will be available in your Parent Portal. When you log-in, this allows you to review and update any necessary information for your student(s). This also indicates your permissions for your student(s) during the school year such as field trips, photos, handbook agreements, etc. We kindly ask that all students have their Annual Student Information Update completed by Friday, May 16, 2026. 

Thank you for partnering with us to give your student an outstanding educational experience!
