Scarsdale Schools Offer Online Kindergarten Registration

The school district also announced when requests for transportation to private schools will be accepted.

SCARSDALE, NY — The Scarsdale School District offers a registration system which allows parents or guardians to enter student information online. The registration window for incoming kindergarten students for the 2018-19 school year will open on Tuesday, January 16, 2018, and will remain open through Wednesday, January 31, 2018. Children whose 5th birthday falls on or before Dec. 31, 2018, may be registered for the 2018-2019 school year, according to a district spokeswoman.

Before beginning the online registration process, all documents must be gathered for uploading. For more information about the documents that you will need and for access to the system, visit this website.

Enrollment in one of the five elementary schools — Edgewood, Fox Meadow, Greenacres, Heathcote and Quaker Ridge — is determined by the neighborhood of residence. If you do not know which elementary school serves your neighborhood, please call District Registrar Maria Miraglia, at 914-721-2444, or send an email to her.
