Cardinal Elementary School

Cardinal Elementary School admissions are handled through Brownsburg Community School Corporation (BCSC) enrollment pages linked from the Cardinal Elementary website, where families complete required enrollment forms online for new students and kindergarten. (cardinal-elementary.brownsburg.k12.in.us) Key dates noted by BCSC include online enrollment opening March 2, 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year, with kindergarten readiness assessments scheduled in the spring after a student is enrolled and a Kindergarten Open House typically held in late May. (brownsburg.k12.in.us) To enroll, parents/guardians must live in the Brownsburg school district, and they must submit documentation such as a birth certificate, immunization record, and proof of residency (e.g., utility bill/lease/closing paperwork; a driver’s license is not accepted), plus custody/guardianship paperwork if applicable; kindergarten admission also requires the child to be age 5 on or before August 1. (brownsburg.k12.in.us) For current-year enrollment, BCSC’s posted steps include creating an account, adding the student, uploading required documents, and confirming the submission is complete (green checkmarks), after which the registrar typically emails within about 48 working hours with start date and school information; school placement is provided after processing and is generally the home school by boundary, but the district may place students to balance class sizes/program needs (boundary maps are informational and final placement is determined by the registrar). (brownsburg.k12.in.us) No general waitlist or priority categories are described for in-district enrollment, but out-of-district families can submit an interest form to be notified if the School Board opens limited open enrollment (typically for one week in summer), and notification does not guarantee acceptance—indicating district residents effectively have priority over out-of-district applicants when capacity is limited.
