Everything You Need To Know To Register For Kindergarten in Nyack

NYACK, NY—It's not too early to register for kindergarten. Children whose fifth birthday falls on or before December 31, 2017, may be registered for the 2017-18 school year in the Nyack Public Schools

Registration for new students must be done online, but then a short in-person visit to the District Office is required. To schedule the visit, call 353-7038. To find the form online, visit the district website, click on the student registration link and follow the steps indicated. If you do not have access to a computer at home, computers are available at the libraries, Nyack Center and the Hilltop Building.

During the in-person visit, parents will need to bring a few up-to-date 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.
