Summary

Superintendent reported modest enrollment growth and waitlist counts (27 junior-high, 24 elementary, 18 high school), said preschool enrollment opens April 8 at 8 a.m., and explained the district will hold initial preschool slots to avoid early overcrowding.

Superintendent reported the district’s enrollment is up slightly from last year and provided specific waitlist counts: 27 students on the junior-high waitlist, 24 on the elementary waitlist and 18 on the high-school waitlist. She said these waitlists continue to grow and the district is tracking and communicating with families through the Synergy system.

“Preschool enrollment opens April 8 at 8AM,” the superintendent said, noting the district hosts nine slots reserved for the preschool-promise program and that Echo residents receive first priority for those slots. The superintendent said the district plans to hold initial registration numbers low (about 18–22) for the first weeks of school to avoid overcrowding and will confirm final placements after the school year starts if more demand appears. Kindergarten roundup is scheduled for April 24 and the district expects a large kindergarten class.
