We look forward to welcoming your child to kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year! Please complete the following survey if your child will be 5 years old by September 15, 2022. Your feedback will assist the district in planning for the future. If your child currently attends transitional kindergarten at Van Meter this year, you do not need to complete this form. If you have questions, contact Cody Tibbetts (
Cody.Tibbetts@vmbulldogs.com) or Kris Koster (
Kris.Koster@vmbulldogs.com). You may also reach them at 515-996-2221.
If you are interested in Transitional Kindergarten (TK), this is the correct form. There are questions pertaining to TK embedded within this survey. Students must meet the September 15th age cutoff and your request for TK does not guarantee your child(ren) a spot in the program. We will use your feedback, the preschool teacher's recommendations (if available), and our spring observation/rubric to determine their educational placement.
If you are considering open enrolling your child into the Van Meter School district, please note that you will need to complete an open enrollment application in addition to this survey. Filing out the open enrollment application does not guarantee a spot in kindergarten. The school board will decide on the open enrollment applications between April and August. For questions regarding open enrollment and the open enrollment process (forms, dates, paperwork, ...) please contact Shonna Trudo (
Shonna.Trudo@vmbulldogs.com).
**** This is not our official registration, it is just assisting us with numbers and things to consider for next year. Registration forms will be sent out this spring to families that have completed this survey. ****
