5 Year Old Kindergarten
Congratulations and welcome to incoming kindergarten students in the 2025–26 school year.
The incoming group of kindergarten students will be the high school graduating class of 2037. We are honored to be
your school system of choice and to partner with you on your child’s journey toward a college and/or career-ready future.
Your child’s Sun Prairie 5-year old kindergarten is a full-day program located in one of our nine elementary schools: C.H. Bird Elementary, Creekside Elementary, Eastside Elementary, Horizon Elementary, Meadow View Elementary, Northside Elementary, Royal Oaks Elementary, Token Springs Elementary, and Westside Elementary. Based on our school district's attendance areas, your child has been automatically enrolled in 5-year-old kindergarten at our school for the 2025–26 school year.
If your child attended SP4K and your address has changed, or if you do not plan to have your child attend our elementary school for any reason, please contact Danielle Linton, 4K Administrative Associate, at 608.478.5145.
If your child has a special health condition that requires more care or if you would like to talk to our District Health Nurse about health-related questions, please call Debbie Brown at 608-318-8106. For more information about health-related questions or concerns, please check our school district website.
Dual Language Immersion (DLI)
The Sun Prairie Area School District offers Spanish/English dual language immersion (DLI) programming in select schools! Meadow View Elementary and Northside Elementary host Spanish/English DLI kindergarten, 1st-grade, and 2nd-grade programming for the 2025–2026 school year *(pending enrollment numbers). Kindergarten students from any District household where Spanish is the primary language will also be able to join these programs at Meadow View and Northside, subject to enrollment. Please join us for a DLI family information night: March 31, 2025, at 6 pm at Meadow View, or April 2, 2025, at 6 pm at Northside. Interested families will be able to complete a Spanish/English Dual Language Immersion application when it becomes available on March 19. Please see the DLI website for more information.

Enrollment Information
The Sun Prairie Area School District has a simple process for transferring 4K students into 5K for the next school year. Students already in SP4K will automatically be enrolled in 5K at the assigned elementary school based on the current home address (see map). Families who are Open Enrolled into an SP4K program will be contacted by our Business Office about plans for 2024-25. If your child currently does not attend a Sun Prairie 4K site and plans to attend 5K, be sure to begin with the Enrolling Students page and go to "Begin the Enrollment Process" for instructions. Please call the 4K office at 608.478.5145 if you have questions.
In February, families will receive a welcome letter from their assigned elementary school. At that time, if there are any updates in your address or changes in your plans for 5K, the letter will include information about who to contact.
Requests for early entrance to kindergarten must be submitted in writing to Rick Mueller by April 19, 2025. Questions about that process should be directed to Robyn Rake at 608.834.6566 or by email.
