Time To Register For Kindergarten In Pearl River

From the Pearl River school district

The Pearl River School District has opened online registration for incoming kindergartners for the 2021-22 school year. Kindergarten screening will take place at a later date.

Children must be five years old on or before Dec. 1, 2021 to be eligible for admission to kindergarten in September 2021.

A birth certificate or other official documentation providing date of birth, a copy of the most recent health examination with a record of immunizations, and two proofs of residence within the Pearl River School District are required as part of the registration process. Out-of-district students are not eligible.

To complete your online registration, visit the Pearl River School District website at www.pearlriver.org under “District News”. If your child has already been registered for CPSE Services, Universal Pre-K, or was registered last year for kindergarten but did not attend, you should not fill out an online application. Instead, please call the registration office at 845-620-3913 to discuss the procedure for registering your child without an online application.

In order to plan and provide for all new students, it is especially important that the district identify all children expected to enroll in September. Pearl River's three elementary schools - Evans Park, Franklin Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue - accommodate students in grades kindergarten through four. Enrollment is assigned across all three schools. While geographic boundaries serve as a general guideline, school assignment will depend on class size and special education and ENL programming. Families will be notified regarding building assignments in the summer.
