Kindergarten - New Student Information & Registration

General Information
Welcome to Kindergarten at St. Vincent de Paul School! We are an all-day, five-day Kindergarten program. Each day the students are provided opportunities to grow socially, academically and spiritually.

Students are engaged in hands-on activities throughout the day. The activities are included in curricular areas such as reading, math, science, social studies, and English. Music, art, physical education, computers, Spanish and library are also a special part of our weekly routine. In addition, we provide learning centers in many of these areas where students are able to work on skills independently.

Each classroom has a full-time associate, allowing for more interaction between the students and teachers, and for small-group activities to meet students' individual needs.

God is an important part of our program. We include prayers and stories about God in our schedule each day and we go to Mass once a week.

Returning Student Registration

Log into your parent PowerSchool account beginning beginning on January 20 and select the student you wish to register for Kindergarten for 2025-2026.  Then select the Ecollect Forms link in the left navigation form; you will be presented with the forms you need to complete and submit.

Open registration for Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year will end on February 7.  After that date, parents will need to contact the school regarding registration.

If you have general questions about the registration process, contact Courtney Eden (edenc@svdpomaha.org).  For assistance with PowerSchool questions, contact Ray Bentzen (bentzenr@svdpomaha.org).

Kindergarten Part III - Paperwork Required to Finalize Registration for Students New to SVdP

Upon acceptance into Kindergarten, specific paperwork for each child for whom first time SVdP enrollment is sought must be provided to the school office in order to finalize registration.  A description of those items will be included as part of your online enrollment and are listed below for your reference:

--original birth certificate (we will make a copy for our records)
--baptismal certificate
--check payable to SVdP in the amount of $500.00; this check will hold a spot for your child and is nonrefundable unless your child's enrollment is declined by the school

For current preschoolers going on to Kindergarten for 2025-2026, SVdP has the paperwork listed above on file already, but the $500.00 per child registration fee is required via payment by check.
