PLEASE READ BELOW FOR OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Kindergarten online registration and appointments for the 2021--2022 school year are now open.
Only two (2) students per appointment time will be scheduled. All registration activities will be socially distanced and everyone will be required to wear a mask.
These dates are AMI-X days for current students, meaning they will all be participating in online learning and will not be present in the school building, reducing the number of people parents and students will encounter. Please read this entire document before clicking the link below to make an appointment.
Appointments - PLEASE ALLOW 1 hour 15 minutes for your appointment
Kindergarten registration will be held at the Elementary School, 1500 Mid-Meadow Lane, Wednesday, February 3 and Wednesday, March 3, Tuesday, APRIL 6 AND Saturday, APRIL 24. ALL APPOINTMENT TIMES FOR MARCH 3 ARE TAKEN. Enter through the main doors on the circle drive on Mid-Meadow Lane. Up to two parents may accompany the child to registration. The District, through its partnership with Parents As Teachers (PAT), will use a new screening test this year. The DIAL-4 Screening test takes more time to administer, and is being done at the recommendation of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
If your child has taken the DIAL-4 Screening test either in daycare or pre-school THIS YEAR, then please do not make an appointment. Follow the directions for online registration, then call the office to make an appointment to bring in the required documentation.
