Kindergarten Enrollment Starts April 7 For AACPS

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Kindergarten registration for the 2021-2022 school year will get underway next week for Anne Arundel County Public Schools. Parents and guardians can reserve their child’s seat by enrolling online starting Wednesday. Walk-in registrations will not be permitted. Children enrolling in kindergarten must be 5 years old on or by Sept. 1, 2021.

The primary option for registration will be AACPS’ online registration portal. Families unable to access the portal can contact the school their student will attend. A link to the online portal can be found here effective April 7. Families also can scan a QR code available at all elementary schools and on flyers distributed by AACPS to access the enrollment portal.

Families should have the following required documents ready to be uploaded in a pdf, jpg or png format when registering a child for kindergarten:

• Proof of identity
• The child’s original birth certificate or birth record
• Two proofs of residency (deed/lease/mortgage and current utility bill)
• Custody order (if applicable)

Families unable to access the registration portal have two additional options:

• Contact their student’s school to have a staff member complete the enrollment form on their behalf and submit the required enrollment documents electronically.
• Contact the school to schedule an in-person appointment. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a limited number of in-person appointments will be available at schools and some appointments may not be available until the summer months.
