Kindergarten Registration in Dare County Schools is opening on April 1, 2025.
Make sure you are prepared with all of the right documents.
After completing the online registration process, remember you will still need to send in copies of required documents. Students will not be officially enrolled until these documents are received. Copies of the documents to be completed can be found here. The required documents are:
Copy of your child's official birth certificate
Proof of Residency (i.e. a copy of your driver's license, utility bill in your name)
DCS Custodian's Affidavit of Residency (this form must be notarized)
North Carolina Health Assessment Transmittal Form (including immunization record)
DCS Medical History Form
DCS Registration Affidavit
1) Your child MUST be five-years-old on or before August 31, 2025.
2) Visit the DCS Registration Page to begin the process. The online registration process can take some time (allow for 30 minutes or more), and requires reliable Internet access. It is possible to complete it on the browser on a cell phone, however, it is not recommended.
3) After registering, submit copies of the required documents listed above to your child's home school. If you do not have a way to make copies of your documents, call your child's home school to schedule a time to have copies made.
