Kindergarten Registration

In order for children to attend kindergarten, he or she must be five years old on or before Dec. 1 of that year.

NYS law requires that all incoming kindergarten children must be immunized against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, rubella (measles), rubella (German measles), poliomyelitis, mumps, hepatitis B and chicken pox.

The following are minimum immunization requirements for school entry:
-(3) DPT (diptheria, pertussis, tetanus);
-(3) Polio (poliomyelitis);
-(2) MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) - two doses of measle vaccine is required and is normally given as an MMR;
-(3) Hepatitis B
-Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine

Parents must register their children. Bring the child's original birth certificate or hospital certificate and record of immunization data.

A physical is required for school entry within one year of the start of school.

During Kindergarten Registration an informal screening assessment is also completed on your child to determine if further testing is needed in the fall. It is hoped that this type of screening will be less stressful for your child.

The school wants your child's first experience here to be a positive one. The entire staff wishes the incoming kindergartners much success as they enter this exciting new phase of their lives. Please contact the main office at 589-2030 with any questions.
