Everything You Need To Know About Kindergarten Registration in Newburgh

NEWBURGH, NY—Kindergarten registration for the Newburgh Enlarged City School District takes place from March 1 to 22 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Board of Education/Newburgh Free Library complex at 124 Grand St. If your child is eligible for enrollment in Balmville, Fostertown, Gardnertown, GAMS Tech, Horizons, Meadow Hill, New Windsor, Temple Hill or Vails Gate, here's everything you need to know.

Parents registering their children in any of these districts will need some documents.

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.
