Registration for kindergartners and incoming first graders takes place in the spring for the following September. Registration dates will be advertised in the media and on the school district website. Students must be 5 years old by SEPTEMBER 30 in order to register for kindergarten. Your child will also need to have a complete physical exam, or an appointment to have one, before starting school.

If you are new to the district and have a child with special needs or limited English proficiency, your child may be assigned to a magnet program in another school. However, children should be registered at their neighborhood schools.

For all new students - please bring the following documents on the day you register:

  • Child’s birth certificate, I-94 or green card: Copies are acceptable

  • Two (2) proofs of residence: Please refer to the Residency Affidavit, below
