Kindergarten information

Welcome, Northpoint parents and our new Knights!

*Kindergarten information for the 2026-2027 school year*

Important information

In order to register for kindergarten, your child must be 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2026. (He/she must be born on or before September 1, 2021.)

  • If you have not already done so, please complete your online registration and upload any required documents (residency, birth certificate, etc.) as soon as possible. If you are a current Northpoint family, you may register ALL of your students in the household at the same time.
  • No fees due at this time. You will pay registration fees over the summer.
  • Communicate with our nurse regarding health issues, allergies, etc. that impact your child

Other items

  • Upcoming events
    • Aug. 18th 5-6 pm- Kindergarten open house/curriculum night with parents only
    • Aug. 19th 4-5:30 pm - Supply drop-off (if you aren’t able to attend the parent open house)
      • Aug. 20th- first attendance day; all students will have a full attendance day
  • We have three sections of Kindergarten this year. The number of classes we will have next year will be based on the number of students we have registered. There are no teacher requests allowed; however, if you have multiples, please email the office to let us know if you would like them in the same or separate classrooms. Our emails are available on the Northpoint website, under the “About Us” tab.
  • Speech and Language- please communicate with us any concerns or outside services your child already receives; we will review and take appropriate action with our building-based team.
  • School supply kits will be available for ordering again this year.  Information regarding the pre-packaged school kits will be in your take-home packet. If you are purchasing school supplies on your own, please refer to the Northpoint website for the specific supply list for Kindergarten (this list is also in your take-home packet).
  • We highly encourage using bus transportation or carpooling for student drop-off and pick-up each day.  If you are driving your student to school, we have a right-turn-only traffic flow each morning from 7:15 until 7:45 am and 2:00 until 2:45 pm. 

From the school office

Students must have 240 minutes of instructional time to count as a full attendance day.  Thus, if your child leaves after 12:35 pm, it will still count as a full day.  With that in mind, please make appointments after that time of day if possible.  Also relating to this, any time you pick up your child for an appointment or lunch, you must sign them out at the office.  

  • By law, we must call home if a child is absent and has not been reported to us, so please report your student’s absence to our attendance hotline and to the classroom teacher by 8:30 am.  The number for our attendance line is (309)557-4469.  Please refer to the student handbook for information on excused and unexcused absences.
  • Changes in address or other changes: Please keep us updated regarding changes in address, phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contacts, etc.  You may log in to your Infinite Campus portal to make changes to basic information such as phone numbers.  You may also view student attendance, lunch account information, and personal information in your portal.
  • Label your student’s items!  Especially lunches, snacks, backpacks, coats, etc.  When bringing in envelopes with lunch money, yearbook money, donations, etc., please mark the envelope with the student's name, teacher code, and purpose for the money.
  • In case of bathroom accidents, please be sure your child has an extra set of seasonally appropriate clothes in their backpack.
