Kindergarten Registration for 2020-2021 School Year

February 13, 2020

Dear Kindergarten Parents/Guardians,

Entering Kindergarten is an exciting experience for your entire family and most especially your child. As your child begins his/her elementary school experience, please know that we in the Peabody Public Schools are committed to creating a positive school environment where your child will grow academically, socially and emotionally. We are also of the belief that working together as partners, your child will be healthy, happy and productive.

Click here for a Kindergarten Registration Packet. Your assistance in accurately completing all these forms and providing all the required documents will help us to help you and your child register for school. It is very important that you register your child now so that we may properly plan for the numbers of students entering Kindergarten.

Please note that you must complete a new registration packet and come to Kindergarten Registration at your neighborhood school even if your child is enrolled in one of the District’s preschool programs: Passos Avante (South and West), Title 1 Pre-K (Welch) or the McCarthy Integrated Preschool. YOU MUST REGISTER FOR KINDERGARTEN.

Should you have any questions or need assistance, please call your child’s school or the Peabody Public Schools Central Office at 978-536-6500.

We look forward to meeting and welcoming you and your kindergartner to our school community!

Sincerely,
Peabody Public Schools
