During this time of year, we are typically in the midst of the Kindergarten registration process. It’s always been a pleasure to welcome students and families during a personalized registration experience. Unfortunately, in light of the COVID-19 concerns and the need for social distancing, this year, we must manage the registration process a little differently.
The safety and well-being of students are among our highest priorities. Therefore, we are limiting the in-person logistics for registration. The registration days scheduled for Hunt School on April 7 have been canceled. At this time, we are instead asking you to complete registration online.
Online Registration and Required Forms
1. Complete Online Registration: Registration for Hunt School must be completed online by May 20. You can access the registration form at:

Sneak a Peek Event in August
While we are unable to host an in-person registration event this spring, we still recognize the importance of welcoming our new families and helping our students acclimate to a new school. So, we’re asking all families to join us in August for a special “Sneak a Peek” in-person experience developed specifically for our transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students. At “Sneak a Peek,” students and families will get to visit the classroom, meet the teacher, and prepare for the start of the new school year. Please watch for more details about this event to come in a future letter.
This is the start of a very exciting journey for your child and family. Welcome to the Sioux City Community School District. We appreciate your support in completing the online registration process, and we look forward to meeting you in August. If you have any questions, please call Heidi at 712/279-6833.
