An Introduction to John F. Kennedy Catholic School

Pre-registration for 2023-24 School Year

All preschool, kindergarten, and returning families will need to enter information through the pre-registration/application survey. To access the survey, click on or scan the QR code that is shown to the right (below on mobile devices). Submissions are time/date stamped. For those unable to complete the pre-registration/application survey online, physical copies will be available at school.

Families will need to pay the registration fee for K-8, three year old preschool, or “non-qualifying” four/five year old preschool* OR the extra time fee for an “IA preschool” four year old preschool. The registration fee is regularly $125 per PK-12 student for a maximum of $375 per family. If paid prior to April 1st, the early bird amount is $100 per PK-12 student for a maximum of $300 per family. The extra time fee for four year old preschoolers is $250 per child. These fees can be paid online by following the link in the pre-registration/application survey or this link: registration fee. Checks can also be made payable to JFK and sent to the school office.

*A non-qualifying preschooler is a non-Iowa resident or student who turns 5 on or before Sept 15th. Tuition is charged for this student, and there is a registration fee. There is no extra time fee.

Families will also need to complete a more detailed online registration process at a later date.  This process will most likely be available in March.
