CUSD 10 Kindergarten Enrollment: Online Only, April 8 | The Locally Times
New kindergarten students must register exclusively online through Skyward Family Access starting April 8, leaving parents to wonder about age requirements and necessary documents.
Collinsville parents, prepare for a digital dash: Kindergarten enrollment for the 2026-27 school year in CUSD 10 opens exclusively online on April 8. Securing your child's spot will require navigating the Skyward Family Access system promptly, marking a significant shift for new registrations. This online-only process, confirmed by the district, means families will need computer and internet access to complete enrollment for the upcoming academic year. ## Online Enrollment: Key Details Missing for Parents While CUSD 10's online enrollment for new kindergarten students is set to begin Wednesday, April 8, 2026, crucial details remain unaddressed by the district. The official announcement, which designates Skyward Family Access as the sole registration pathway, fails to specify the exact time enrollment opens on April 8, a detail vital for prompt registration. Furthermore, the district has not publicly provided specific age requirements for kindergarten entry, nor has it outlined the necessary documentation parents will need to upload during the online process. Information regarding alternative in-person enrollment options or support services for families needing assistance with the digital system is also conspicuously absent from public records. ## District Buzz: Athletics, Achievements, and Arts Beyond the upcoming kindergarten enrollment, Collinsville CUSD 10 has been active with several other district developments. During that same March 2026 regular meeting, the CUSD 10 Board of Education recognized two students for their achievements: Collinsville High School senior Melanie Gutierrez and Dorris Intermediate School student Amelia Wells. Earlier in March, Collinsville Middle School's Drama Club presented its spring play, "Freaky Tiki," to the community. Additionally, two Kahok Special Olympics athletes medaled in State Individual Basketball Skills in Bloomington, IL, showcasing athletic success. A district news post from April 8, 2026, also notes that Collinsville High School students Laila Jaoko, Claire Wasser, and Sara McChristian are scheduled to participate in the Illinois Student Advisory Council hosted by the Illinois State Board of Education. These activities underscore the district's ongoing engagement in academics, athletics, and extracurriculars as it prepares for the new school year. ## Regional Calendar: Other Local Events This April As Collinsville CUSD 10 prepares for kindergarten enrollment, other local municipalities are also gearing up for civic activities in early April.
