Kindergarten Roundup

Welcome to the Class of 2038! If your child will turn 5 on or before September 1, 2025, they are eligible to start kindergarten this fall. We are so excited to welcome kindergartners to all four of our ECS elementary schools this fall!

Kindergarten Information Meetings

Eastpointe Community Schools will host district-wide kindergarten information and enrollment events March 13 and 14 at the Eastpointe Early Learning Center. Families are welcome to attend during any of the following times to meet some of our building staff, learn more about the kindergarten experience, and start the enrollment process:

• Thursday, March 13 from 4:30-6:30pm
• Friday, March 14 from 8:30-9:30am and 1-2pm

We can't wait to meet you and your soon-to-be kindergartner!

What do I need to register?

You will need your child's official birth certificate, proof of immunization, and three proofs of residency to register your child for kindergarten. To obtain a copy of your child's birth certificate, contact the vital records department in the city/county where the child was born, or use VitalChek to order a copy online.

Michigan law also requires all incoming kindergartners to complete a hearing and vision screening prior to starting kindergarten. For more information, parents can contact their child's pediatrician, or call the Macomb County Health Department's Hearing & Vision Program at 586-412-5945.

As of the 2025-26 school year, all incoming kindergartners will also need a completed dental screening. This can be completed through your child's dentist or through the Macomb County Health Department. Screenings can occur up to six months prior to the beginning of the school year, or during the kindergarten school year.

Which school will my child attend?

As of fall 2025, all ECS elementary schools will return to grades K-5, so all elementary-aged children in a family can attend the same neighborhood school. For more information and an updated attendance boundary map, please see our K-5 Transition page.
