Naugatuck Kindergarten Registration: What You Need to Know

A press release from the Naugatuck Public School District:

Parents whose children will be eligible for kindergarten next September should plan to register their child this February. Children may register for the 2014-15 school year if their fifth birthday occurs on or before Jan. 1, 2015.

Forms for kindergarten registration are available in all Naugatuck elementary schools. Parents should call the elementary school that their child will attend and arrange to pick up the required forms. Contact information is as follows:

• Andrew Avenue Elementary School: 203-720-5221
  
  
• Hop Brook Elementary School: 203-720-5231
  
  
• Maple Hill Elementary School: 203 720-5236

Parents who are unsure which school their child will attend should call the Office of the Superintendent of Schools at 203-720-5265.

At that time of initial contact, an appointment will also be made on Feb. 4, Feb. 5, Feb. 7 or Feb. 7, for parents to return completed forms and have their child receive a vision and hearing test. 

State law requires that all entering students be properly immunized before entrance to school can take place. At the registration appointment, parents must present their children’s birth certificate along with proof of immunization. A completed physical conducted on Aug. 31, 2013, or after will be acceptable.

• A copy of a valid Connecticut driver’s license or photo ID for either parent indicating the address where the child is residing

In addition to the above, the guardian of any child attending the public schools within the district must also provide proof of guardianship.
