The Process
February 1 - Registration Opens
Visit the STUDENT REGISTRATION page to:
Log in to the 2026-27 registration portal
Call your child's school to schedule an appointment to drop off required materials (parent/guardian photo id, child's long form birth certificate, proof of residency).
Schedule a physical and have the doctor complete the Health Assessment Form (required to attend school).
Attend Kindergarten Orientation (adults only) at your child's school on April 30th @ 6:30 p.m.
Attend Storytime with your student at their elementary school (a May date will be shared with registered families).
Helpful Information
Children attending the Wethersfield Early Intervention Preschool Program at Webb do not need to register as our system will automatically roll the student into kindergarten at their home school. However, an updated Health Assessment Form is required.
If you plan to withhold your child from kindergarten for the school year, CT State Law 98-243 requires that you appear at the elementary school and sign the Option to Exempt Form indicating that your child will be held out for the year.
