Public School Registration Underway for Fall 2010

It's that time of year again, where parents are thinking about getting their children ready for school registration.

In Port Washington, registration for kindergarten, middle and high school students only will take place beginning Monday, January 11, 2010 and continue through Friday, February 26, 2010. According to the district, you must make an appointment to register your child by calling 516-767-5470. The office will take calls from 8:30 until 3:30.

Children must be five years old on or before December 1, 2010 to start kindergarten in the fall.

If you are new to the Port Washington school district and your child will attend a non-public school, you must fill out the verified residency forms that are on the school district website and call for an appointment after January 22, 2010, according to the district.

The registration packet for new students and incoming Kindergarteners can be downloaded from the school district website registration page, or picked up in the Administrative Annex at 90 Avenue C. Please understand that in accordance with Board of Education policy, no child will be admitted to school without all the necessary forms completed.

If you need help with the registration process, call Jennie Ramos, Port Washington's Community Liaison, at 516-767-5476.
