2027-2028 Kindergarten Registration

Welcome, Future Kindergarten Hawks! 🦅

We are excited to welcome your family to Hayden Peak Elementary! Starting kindergarten is a big milestone. You can help your child feel confident and ready by reading, talking, playing, and practicing everyday routines together.

Children enter kindergarten with different experiences and abilities. The ideas below are opportunities to grow—not a checklist children must complete before starting school.

Ways to Prepare at Home

Area Things your child can practice
Speaking and listening Talk about their day, ask questions, listen to stories, and follow simple one- or two-step directions. Practice saying their first and last name.
Books and early literacy Read together every day. Talk about pictures and what happens in the story. Enjoy rhymes, songs, and noticing letters—especially the letters in their name.
Writing and hand strength Draw, color, build with blocks, play with playdough, and practice using child-safe scissors with supervision. Invite them to try writing their first name.
Early math Count toys, steps, and snacks. Touch each object as they count. Sort items by color, shape, or size; make patterns; and talk about more, fewer, and the same.
Friendship and feelings Practice taking turns, joining play, asking for help, and using words to express feelings. Talk about ways to calm down when something feels hard.
Everyday independence Practice using the bathroom, washing hands, managing clothing, putting on a coat, and opening lunch containers. Encourage them to try before asking for help.
School routines Practice cleaning up, putting belongings in a backpack, and moving from one activity to another. Establish consistent bedtime and morning routines.

If your child needs help or accommodations with any of these activities, we look forward to partnering with you.

Little Moments Make a Big Difference

Preparing for kindergarten does not need to involve worksheets or expensive materials. Try these simple activities:

  • Read together: Let your child choose a book and talk about their favorite part.
  • Go on a name hunt: Look for letters from their name on signs and packages.
  • Count during daily routines: Count plates as you set the table or apples at the store.
  • Play a game: Simple board games build counting, turn-taking, and patience.
  • Create something: Draw a picture, build a tower, or make shapes with playdough.
  • Practice asking for help: Use phrases such as “Can you help me?” or “I need a break.”

Talk, read, and sing in the language your family knows best. Your home language is an important part of your child’s learning and identity.

We are excited to let you know that Hayden Peak Elementary has three all-day session's of Kindergarten for the 2027-2028 school year! The students will follow the same 8:25 am-3:05 pm schedule as students in grades 1-6.

We will still be offering an AM class option.

It is important that we obtain an accurate list of all children qualifying for kindergarten in the Jordan School District for the 2027-2028 school year.  If you have a child that will be five years of age on or before September 1, 2027, the child qualifies for next year’s kindergarten program. State law requires that all school districts in Utah abide by the same September 1st entrance cut-off date.   You will be required, before school starts, to bring the child’s immunization record and a certified birth certificate (not a photocopy), two proofs of residency (one-lease agreement or recent mortgage statement or rental affidavit notarized. 

All new kindergarten registrations will be done online.  If you do not have access to a computer at home, please come to the school office.  We have one available for you to use.  Please use the links at the top of this page to begin the online registration.

If you were not able to upload the required documents on the registration form,  please take the following required documents to the school to complete the process (schools may require additional information):

If you know of a neighbor who has a qualifying kindergarten child, please share this information with them and encourage them to register their child online.
