Principal's Message
Thomas Families,
Kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year is now open! If you or anyone you know has a child that will turn 5 before September 30, now is the time to begin the registration process. Begin by visiting the Dublin City Schools website and navigate to the Enrollment Page. Keep in mind that you will need two proofs of residency, your child’s birth certificate, a copy of your photo ID, and your child’s immunization records.
Kindergarten will look different in Dublin next year- it will be full day for all students. We’re very excited for the change! We will discuss details about full day, as well as general information about kindergarten, at our Kindergarten Information Night at Thomas Elementary on Thursday, May 1. So get rolling on your registration so we can send you that information!
Go Tigers,
Melissa Garris
