We’re excited to welcome our future Meridian Cardinals to Kindergarten!
Highland Elementary is eager to welcome our 2026–2027 Kindergartners!
Children who will be 5 years old by September 1, 2026, are invited to attend our Kinder Kick-Off event.
To keep groups small and engaging:
Last names A–L: Tuesday, March 24
Last names M–Z: Thursday, March 26
During the event, children will enjoy fun activities with our amazing kindergarten teachers, while parents learn more about Highland Elementary and the Meridian CUSD district.
Please register with the link or call the school office at 815-645-2230.
