Kindergarten Registration Fall 2024

Recent Changes in the Connecticut General Statutes will raise the age that children can start public school Kindergarten from age 5 on or before January 1 of the school year to age 5 on or before September 1 of the school year. This change in law will go into effect on July 1, 2024. Therefore, children entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2024 will need to be 5 on or before September 1, 2024.

We understand that changes in educational policies can raise questions, and we want to address any concerns you may have. Please use the link below to a Frequently Asked Questions Guide.
