Millburn Opens Kindergarten Registration In January

MILLBURN, NJ - Mark those brand-new calendars for Jan. 2 as the Millburn School District is opening the Kindergarten registration for the 2019-2020 school year. Registration will be open place through Jan. 31 using the online Registration Gateway system.

Parents of students eligible to begin Kindergarten in September, 2019 will begin the registration process by entering the majority of their information online in the Registration Gateway system from home. They will schedule an in-person meeting at the Education Center with the registrar through online calendar at the end of the registration process. There are early morning, daytime, and evening appointments available.

Steps in the Kindergarten registration process:

• Create Online Account: Go to registration.millburn.org to create a Registration Gateway account. (If you have registered a new student recently, you may already have a registration account. You may log in with that account, and click on “Add Student” to register your kindergartener.)
• Follow the steps to enter all requested information to pre-register your child. A checklist at the end of the process will alert you to the additional documents/information required to complete your registration.
• Schedule an Appointment: Parents will sign up for a registration appointment on the calendar provided at the end of the online registration process. All parents must meet with the registrar in person to provide their child’s original birth certificate, residency documents and immunization records. The process takes about 10 minutes for parents who have all of the forms and documentation prepared. Click here for registration instructions and required list of documents.
