Pearl River Schools to Welcome Kindergartners

From the Pearl River School District: The Pearl River School District will hold a registration and screening for incoming kindergartners for September 2017 during school hours on the following four (4) days: Tuesday, March 1st, Wednesday, March 2nd, Tuesday, March 7th, and Thursday, March 9th, 2017

Beginning Monday, February 6th, parents should contact any of the three elementary schools to make an appointment for you and your child. All actual appointments, however, will be held at the Pearl River School District office at 135 West Crooked Hill Road, as it streamlines registration and screening for our families.

Children must be five years old on or before December 1, 2017 to be eligible for admission to kindergarten in September 2017. A birth certificate with raised seal or other official documentation providing date of birth, a record of immunizations, and two (2) proofs of residence within the Pearl River School District are required at registration. Specific information regarding documents needed for registration can be found on the district website (www.pearlriver.org) under the “Kindergarten Registration for 2017-18” tab.

In order to plan and provide for all new students, it is especially important that the district identify all children expected to enroll in September. Pearl River's three elementary schools - Evans Park Elementary School, Franklin Avenue Elementary School, and Lincoln Avenue Elementary School - accommodate students in grades kindergarten through four. Enrollment is assigned across all three schools. While geographic boundaries serve as a general guideline, school assignment will depend on class size and special education and ENL programming. Families will be notified regarding building assignment in the summer.

For additional information or to schedule an appointment, please contact any one of the elementary schools: Evans Park at 620-3950, Franklin Avenue at 620-3965, or Lincoln Avenue at 620-3850.
