Lincoln Attendance Center will conduct Kindergarten Round-up for students who will be attending Kindergarten in the 2025–2026 school year. Children who are five years of age on or before September 1, 2025, are eligible to start school in August.
Incoming Kindergarten families are invited to attend the Roundup on May 8 from 3:30 - 6:30 pm at Lincoln Attendance Center. At this time, we will gather brief demographic information. Information obtained at this early registration provides us with a tentative number of kindergarten students. The data helps us purchase supplies, finalize staffing plans, and prepare bus routes for next year. If your child has not been in Carmi-White County’s Pre-K or Early Childhood Classes, please bring a copy of the child’s birth certificate.
Families will be given updated information regarding physical examinations, immunizations, and lead screenings during the in-person roundup.
If anyone has any questions, please contact Lincoln at 384-3421. #BulldogPride
We are still taking appointments for pre-K screenings! Call today to get your child in our program! Talk to Mallory at 382-4631. #BulldogPride
