Kindergarten Pre-registration form is now open for New Hartford families!

Dear Families,

We are so excited to share that our kindergarten pre-registration form is now open for our New Hartford families!  By completing this online form, you will receive updates on the kindergarten registration process which will officially open in mid January. Completing this form helps us get a head start on planning and preparations and welcome our new families and students . Please help us in spreading the word to our community, we want to reach as many families as possible that may have children entering kindergarten next school year.

New state legislation now requires students to be the age of 5 by September 1st to enroll in Kindergarten. This is a change from the previous January 1st date.  We understand this change may pose unexpected challenges to families who were planning to enroll their September-December birthdays to kindergarten next fall. This legislation provides an option for parents to request in writing a waiver for their child to enroll in kindergarten if they turn 5 by January 1st. Legislation requires the waiver process to include a holistic assessment of the student's academic, social, physical, behavioral, and communication skills through the use of a screener to assess development in these areas, conducted by the school.
