Cler-Mont Elementary

NOW OPEN! 

Will you have an incoming Kindergarten student next year?  

Families may now pre-register their incoming Kindergarten student for the 2026-2027 school year.  This is only a preliminary enrollment.  Parents will complete the official enrollment application in July 2026. 

As part of the pre-registration process, parents will upload their child's birth certificate and select whether or not their child will be attending Summer School in June 2026 as a Rising Kindergartener.  We highly recommend future kindergarten students attend Summer School.  Summer School 2026 will be held at Indian Trails Elementary for both Cler-Mont & Indian Trails students.
