Minot Public Schools is excited to welcome students to the Kindergarten class for the 2025-26 school year! The approximate first day of school August 20, 2025.
Your child must be age 5 by July 31, 2025 to attend school in the fall.
NOTE: Please complete the enrollment process by July 31, 2025 to insure a higher probability of the student attending their boundary school. Due to capacity limitations, those who wait too long may be placed in a different school and required to wait until the following year to be enrolled in their boundary school.
