Sheridan County School District 2 set aside three days in February for parents to register their children for kindergarten next year, but in fact, according to Assistant Superintendent Scott Stults, parents can register their children at any time.
He said the one requirement is that the child must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 15.
In a report to School District 2 trustees earlier this month, Stults said kindergarten enrollment so far is up slightly from a year ago. He told trustees that in a typical year, the district sees around 50 students register between March and the beginning of school.

Washakie County School District #1 in Worland is having a substitute shortage. But that s nothing new. It s always an issue. Most of the time we do pretty well, this year, the problems have been exacerbated primarily because we re having more staff out for longer periods of time due to quarantines, said Jack Stott, the district s business manager.
He said no role is spared. We re scrambling for every category of employee.
While he said no schools in Washakie #1 have had to close this year because of COVID-19 outbreaks, a lot of staff like teachers, bus drivers, and cooks are having to take time away from work because of positive COVID-19 cases or quarantines. As of December 8, fifteen school district staff members were out.
