How and When to Register for Kindergarten 2019-20

NEW FOR 2019-20

We have moved to a new online registration format. Paper packets will no longer be sent out.

To begin the process please consult the School Finder to determine which school serves your address, and for directions to the school. Then fill out the 2019-2020 Registration Form (form will be available mid-January). You may save your information and return to the form if needed. Once the form has been submitted online please bring copies of all required residency documentation (see below) to the school that serves your address.

What documents will I need to provide to register my child?

• Your child's original birth certificate or passport and a copy
• Evidence of legal residence -- 4 proofs required
  1. Signed rental lease or proof of ownership--contract to purchase, warranty deed, mortgage deed.
  2. Two different current utility bills that shows family at the address of residence (no cell phone bill)
  3. Photo ID - Current drivers license at the address of residence, or Passport
• All families are required to sign the New Enrollee Verification of Residence form
