Right now, kindergarten registrations are a special focus for Vernon Public Schools. “Our goal has always been to provide residents with convenient ways to help students gain access to quality education. We believe the introduction of our new online registration platform will help all families connect with our schools, especially our incoming kindergarten students. We know involvement in structured early childhood education gives students the maximum opportunity for academic, social, and emotional success,” said Vernon Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Robert Testa.

According to Cynthia Zingler, Vernon Public Schools Director of Family School and Community Partnerships, online registration was planned months ago, and in place since early March in preparation for the upcoming school year. “It’s just one of the many things we do to provide services to our students and their families. Right now, the online option is especially important.”
