If your child attends daycare within our district but in a different school boundary, or if you desire to enroll in another school for another reason, you must submit an In-District Transfer Application.

Voluntary Pre-K is available to children living within the boundaries of Discovery, Madison, Oak Hill and Talahi schools who will be 4 years old by Sept. 1. There is no fee for Voluntary Pre-K and busing is free. Limited space is available
