Everything You Need To Know About Kindergarten Registration in Highland

HIGHLAND, NY—Kindergarten registration is under way for the Highland Central School District. If your child is eligible for enrollment in Highland Elementary School, you will need a few documents on hand. Here's what you need to know.

New York State law requires that all incoming kindergarten students have a physical and a dental health exam before entering school. Parents must supply a certificate stamped by a doctor, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner describing the student's physical condition. A current immunization record or proof of exemption must also be submitted.

Parents should provide their child's birth certificate to prove the child's age. To prove the guardian's identity, a valid, government-issued driver or non-driver ID card can be presented. If applicable, produce proof of guardianship. Proof of residency is required and could include a tax bill, driver's license, utility bill, paycheck stub or tax return, among other items.
