The ɫ��ɫ is preparing for kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year. All resident students born on or before December 1, 2019, are eligible to register for kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year.

It is important for families to know that all registration forms must be submitted and approved before a spot will be held for a student.

Information Packets

In January, kindergarten information packets will be mailed to families that the district knows have a child eligible to enter kindergarten. Please contact your home school to be placed on its mailing list. 

If you don’t know which building would be your “home” school please download the district's “Street Code Book." Find your street to determine which of the four K-2 elementary schools your child will attend in September 2024. 

Four ɫ��ɫ CSD schools house students in kindergarten through second grade: Donlin Drive Elementary (DDE), Elmcrest Elementary (EE), Long Branch Elementary (LBE) and Willow Field Elementary (WFE).

If you have an eligible child, but do not receive an information packet by January 26, contact your home school to request a packet.

Registration Date

Registration will be conducted by appointment only at the Registration Office (195 Blackberry Road) or online. This allows for families to have one-on-one time in the safest way possible, without having to wait in line.

Kindergarten Registration will take place on the following dates for the following assigned home schools: 

• EE & LBE: February 5 to 9, 2024
• DDE & WFE: February 12 to 16, 2024

Please register online prior to your appointment (if you are able to do so) by filling out all five forms found in the middle of the Registration page (links can be found in the orange box). Required documents can be uploaded using the district’s Document Attachment Form (link can be found on the Registration Page as well).

Children do not need to be present for any part of the registration process. 

Registration must be completed by the resident parent or legal guardian. Any in-person registrations will take place at the District Office (195 Blackberry Road).

Note: Children who will attend a private, parochial or charter school need to be registered at the District Office during normal business hours (7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.).
