Kindergarten Registration In Milford Opens Monday

MILFORD, CT ? Kindergarten registration in Milford will start earlier than before due to new legislation passed earlier this year.

Children entering Kindergarten in the 2024-25 school year must be five years of age by Sept. 1, 2024. As a result, kindergarten registration for the Milford Public Schools will open Monday, Nov. 13, to give families and the district enough time to plan for a smooth entry.

Kindergarten will be conducted exclusively online starting Nov. 13 using the PowerSchool Parent portal, found on the district's website at www.milforded.org (Register/Withdraw button at the top).

Parents are asked to read the instructions before they begin, as several documents will be required to complete their child?s registration.

Those documents include.

• A certificate copy of your child?s birth certificate.
• For Homeowners: Mortgage/deed or tax bill for the residence
• For renters: lease or rental agreement signed by the landlord, including the landlord?s contact phone number.
• Two recent utility bills in the same name to the name address (landline phone, water, electricity, gas, oil or cable TV).
• A copy of the student?s last physical exam (must have occurred within the past 12 months) and immunization record.

The online registration process will take about 30 minutes to complete. Once registration is complete, families will receive notifications from the school. Arrangements are being made for students and their families to visit the school at an in-person event later in the spring.

This year, parents of Milford Public Schools Preschool or Milford Ready to Learn students preparing to enter kindergarten will need to complete a special online kindergarten registration form. Specific information will be provided directly to those families.

If you have any additional questions, you are encouraged to contact your school?s secretary, or you may contact Cass Philpott in the Assistant Superintendent?s office at (203) 783-3422 or via email at cphilpott@milforded.org.
