Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten registration begins each year in January for the following school year. Please note that your child must be five years old as of December 1 for the school year that you are registering for. If your child was previously registered for Pre-School Special Education services, LifeWorks, or the UPK program, you may be eligible to submit a condensed registration form. The Registrar’s Office will notify the families who are eligible. If you previously submitted an online census form, you must still submit the kindergarten registration forms.
Registration target dates are indicated below. Please submit your online registration during your corresponding time frame based on what letter your last name starts with.
| Child’s Last Name Begins With | 2025 Target Window to Submit Online Registration |
