If your child will be four years of age on, or before, September 1st of the next school year, here’s what you need to know.

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 the district boundaries here), go to the DC Everest 4K website to download, fill out, and complete the online registration process.

You cannot submit your online registration until Monday, February 10, 2020 at 8am. However, it’s recommended that you fill out all of the downloadable forms and gather your necessary documents ahead of time. Each online registration is date and time stamped. If you use this system, you do not need to fill out any additional forms in person.

If you do not wish to use the online registration system, you will need to fill out the paper registration forms at one of the 4K Partner sites. Some sites fill up quickly, so make sure you arrive early Monday morning to increase your chances of getting your top choice.
