Here are the basics:

If your child will be four years of age on, or before, September 1st of the next school year, then this information is for you!

4K in the Wausau area (DC Everest School District or Wausau School District) is an optional, free, half-day (AM or PM), pre-kindergarten program.

Check out Wausau Mama’s 4K Directory for a full list of all 4K sites.

DC Everest School District 4K Program:

If you are in the DC Everest school district (check that here), go to the DC Everest 4K website to print and fill out all of the forms.

Then bring all of the forms and your child’s birth certificate to your location of choice starting Monday, February 11, 2019.

Some sites fill up quickly, so make sure you arrive early Monday morning to increase your chances of getting your top choice.

Wausau School District 4K Program:

If you are in the Wausau School District (check that here), you will fill out a Pre-Registration Form (will be available here soon) to register your child for 4K. Online registration begins on Monday, February 4, 2019.

The online registration indicates your interest in 4K and preferred site of attendance; however, the paper registration must be completed before your child is fully registered and assigned to a site.

After you complete the online form you will be sent an email with additional forms to print and fill out. You should also bring your child’s birth certificate when you turn them in. It is also recommended that you attend one of these 4K informational meetings:
