The official kickoff for the 2018-2019 Kokomo School Corporation early enrollment is the annual Kokomo All Schools Education Fair Tuesday, Feb. 13th from 5 to 7 p.m. at Memorial Gym (at the intersection of Apperson Way and Superior Street) in downtown Kokomo.

Parent Night meetings are scheduled at all Kokomo schools so parents can ask questions about the various program offerings.
