Pre-kindergarten enrollment is for children who will be four years of age by September 1, 2025 but will not turn five years of age prior to Sept. 2, 2025. 

Kindergarten enrollment is for children who will be five years of age by September 1, 2025 and are not currently enrolled in pre-kindergarten at Sperry Elementary.  (If your child is currently enrolled in pre-k for the 2024-2025 school year, they will be automatically enrolled in kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year.)

Parents need to bring with them the following:

• A utility bill showing proof of residency within the Sperry School district (residents living near a boundary line, especially the Quail Hollow area require a property tax receipt),
• Acceptable utility bills include gas, electric, or water showing your name and physical address,
• Driver’s license/ state-issued identification.
• Child’s certified birth certificate, and
• Child’s immunization record.

Please make sure ALL documents are already printed and ready to copy.

All applicants must complete a Home Language Survey for the 2025-2026 school year.  Assistance in completing this form will be available for those who need it. Parents should bring the student’s Indian Card if Native American.    

The Caring Van will be on campus from 10:00am-1:00pm to provide immunizations for those who qualify. All shots must be current prior to enrollment.  Required immunizations for students entering pre-kindergarten include 4 DTP (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus), 3 OPV/IPV (polio), 1 MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), 3 hepatitis B, 2 hepatitis A, and 1 varicella (chicken pox). Students entering kindergarten will need an addition DTP, MMR, and OPV/IPV. The Caring Van will also be available for 6^th grade students who have not received the 1 Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) booster which is required before they begin 7^th grade. 

Because Sperry Elementary strives to prepare each student for future success, a comprehensive, full-day pre-kindergarten program has been offered since 2008. While pre-kindergarten is not required by the state of Oklahoma, The Urban Child Institute found in an ongoing independent evaluation that during the year before kindergarten, Pre-K children develop literacy, language, and math skills faster than non-participating children. When they begin kindergarten, Pre-K children are rated more highly than their peers on teachers’ assessments of school readiness.

Sperry Public Schools recognizes the value of important foundational knowledge provided and social interaction opportunities within a pre-kindergarten program. Research shows that children who participate in Pre-K are better prepared for school and score higher on reading and math scores. Sperry Public School 3^rd reading assessment scores have been at or above State average for several years. In addition, the percentage of 3^rd grade students meeting the Reading Sufficiency Act requirements to be eligible to advance to 4^th grade have also consistently been at or above the State average. It is the belief of the administration, teachers, and staff that this success begins with a pre-kindergarten program that is well-rounded and focuses on developmental and kindergarten readiness for all students no matter their ability as they begin their educational journey.

Curriculum in all pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes are based on the notion that all children can learn and learning at this early age is most easily achieved through play. Developmentally appropriate activities are designed to provide real life experiences and to build on a child’s previous knowledge base.  Sperry’s pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs teach standards related to fine and gross motor skills, social/emotional skills, intellectual skills, reading skills, and math skills. Skills taught include daily lessons designed to build the foundational skills in both reading and math, as well as fostering social and emotional skills that will be essential future success. Sperry pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students enjoy active learning experiences that are age appropriate and prepare them for future academic achievement.

While enrollment is not required to be completed on April 4^th, pre-kindergarten class sizes are limited, and enrollment is on a first come first served basis. Once classes are filled, students will be put on a waiting list, and parents will be notified of openings if and when they occur. Transfers will be available for out of district students who are wishing to attend Sperry pre-kindergarten or kindergarten, and parents may fill out enrollment applications at roundup as they await transfer approvals. 

Please call (918) 288-7213 ext. 100 if you have any questions.  We look forward to meeting all our new pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students who will be attending Sperry during the 2025-2026 school year.
