Beginning Friday, May 1, parents may register their children for kindergarten for the 2020-2021 school year.
Completing registration early will help your child’s teacher to be ready to welcome your child when the school year begins on August 5, 2020. Parents must begin the registration process online at https://campus.douglas.k12.ga.us/campus/OLRLoginKiosk/douglas. Until further notice, the registration process will include the uploading of documents needed for registration. Accepted document types include .pdf, .docx, and .doc files.
