Kindergarten registration to open for Princeton Elementary

Feb 26 8 a.m.- 7 p.m., Feb 27 8 a.m.- noon

Princeton Elementary students accustomed to twice daily shuttles may be forced to find other options if a driver shortage becomes worse. Nationwide and locally, school districts are feeling the pinch as drivers become shorter in supply requiring some creativity in transporting students.

Students new to the Princeton Elementary School District 115, as well as current Bright Beginnings Preschool students, can register for kindergarten in the Douglas gymnasium on Feb 26 8 a.m. - 7 p.m. and Feb 27 8 a.m. - noon.

A certified copy of the child’s birth certificate and proof of residency are required at the time of registration. The cost to register is $90.

Children seeking registration must be five years old on or before Sept 1, 2026.

If you need to set up an alternate time to register or have questions regarding the registration process, please contact the district office at 815-875-3162 or Douglas Elementary School at 815-872-9741.
