Everything You Need To Know To Register For Kindergarten in Harrison

HARRISON, NY—Kindergarten registration starts on March 1 in all four Harrison elementary schools. If your child is eligible to enroll in the Harrison Avenue, Parsons Memorial, Purchase or S. J. Preston Elementary Schools, here's what you need to know.

Parents enrolling children in any of these schools will need a few documents.

New York State law requires that all incoming kindergarten students have a physical and a dental health exam before entering school. Parents must bring 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 bring the following identification to prove the child's age: a birth certificate, baptismal certificate or passport to prove the child's age. To prove the guardian's identity, bring as a valid, state-issued driver or non-driver ID card, a state or military picture ID. If applicable, bring proof of guardianship. Two forms that prove residency are required and can include a tax bill, driver's license, utility bill, paycheck stub or tax return.
