Is Your Kindergartner Considered "New" or "Returning"?
If your student was attending Shining Star Preschool you will register them as Returning student. If your student has never attended any Rio Rancho Public School then they are considered to be new students and should be registered through the new student online registration portal, which will open for 2019-20 on Tuesday, April 9th.
Be sure to also attend the Kindergarten Round-Up orientation/enrollment session at your child’s school and bring the required documentation to complete the process.
Kindergarten Round-Up gives parents of Kindergartners a special time to visit the school and complete enrollment. Not able to attend? You may come to the school during regular office hours after Kindergarten Round-Up.
Note: Please do not attempt to register students for Shining Stars Preschool via this process. Shining Stars Preschool has a separate lottery-based admissions and registration process: more information here.
