Welcome to Kindergarten at LJES!
Whether your family will be new to our school, or you are already part of our school community, kindergarten is a wonderful year at LJES! We offer a full day kindergarten program from 8:15am-2:45pm, with a 12:20 dismissal each Wednesday. We will also offer universal transitional kindergarten (UTK) for the 2023-2024 school year, and it follows the same schedule.
To register a child for Kindergarten, please bring two current proofs of residency, the child's birth certificate or passport, and their immunization record to the school office. For questions regarding enrollment, please email Lisa Schrift at
