Welcome to Kindergarten at Sauk Rapids-Rice!

Your child is about to start an exciting adventure where they will meet new friends and begin building the foundation of their education. As you begin to navigate this journey you will see that our staff is passionate about children and learning and they bring that positive spirit to the classroom each day. We know that children learn best when home, school, and community work together, and we look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our District. Congratulations to you and your child for taking the first step into a great future.

We have three elementary schools that serve students in grades K-5.
• Mississippi Heights Elementary | 252-0122
• Pleasantview Elementary | 253-0506
• Rice Elementary | 393-2177

Kindergarten students attend all-day, every-day Kindergarten as an essential part of accomplishing our district goals.

School boundaries have been established to give a general idea of which building your student will attend. If you wish to attend Sauk Rapids-Rice and live outside of the District boundaries, the State of Minnesota allows for open enrollment. If you have specific questions regarding open enrollment, please contact korynn.fischer@isd47.org.
