Echo SD reports steady enrollment, long waitlists and preschool registration date
Summary
Superintendent reported enrollment is up slightly and provided waitlist counts (27 junior high, 24 elementary, 18 high school); preschool registration opens April 8 and nine Preschool Promise slots are reserved for Echo residents.
In the superintendent's report to the Echo School District board, officials said overall enrollment is stable and slightly higher than last year and shared specific waitlist figures.
"I think we have 27 kids on the junior high wait list, 24 on the elementary wait list, and 18 on the high school wait list," the superintendent said, noting waitlist numbers continue to grow and that the district is using Synergy and other systems to track date-stamped applications. The superintendent said preschool enrollment opens April 8 at 8 a.m., that forms have been updated and that the district hosts nine Preschool Promise slots with Echo residents given first priority.
The district indicated kindergarten roundup is scheduled for the 24th and that registration will operate on a first-come, first-served basis for available slots; administrators plan to hold enrollment numbers steady early in the school year to avoid overcrowding and to reassess openings in the first weeks of school. No immediate policy change was announced at the meeting.
