Welcome to Glastonbury Public Schools!
We look forward to working with you to provide an exceptional educational experience for your child. If we can assist in any way, please do not hesitate to contact our registration coordinator at registrar@glastonburyus.org or 860-652-7940.
If you plan to enroll your child at a magnet school for kindergarten, you still MUST register with Glastonbury Public Schools.
Kindergarten Age Requirement

Kindergarten Registration (Next Year)
Kindergarten registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now OPEN if your child meets the age requirement.
Any child who will be five years of age on or before September 1, 2025 and who meets all residency requirements is eligible to attend kindergarten during the 2025-2026 school year. It is important that you pre-register your kindergarten student as soon as possible.

1. Carefully review the following:
Residency Requirements Policy and Regulations 5118
Elementary School District by Street (to find your home elementary school if needed)
2. Complete the Online New Student Pre-Registration process:
Click on the Pre-Register button below. You will create a new account if this is your first child attending Glastonbury Public Schools. Save your login information in case you need to return to this site.
PLEASE NOTE: If you already have a child who attends Glastonbury Public Schools, be sure to review "Parent Registration Information Page" and upload all required forms including your recent proof of residency and recent photo ID.
The registrar will contact you (usually via email) to let you know when the registration process is complete or if further information is required. Send any questions to: registrar@glastonburyus.org.
*Please continue with the registration process even if the health form is not yet complete. Submit this form as soon as possible, as the health record must be on file prior to the student's first day of school; but do not delay the registration process while waiting to complete the physical exam.

Withholding Child from Kindergarten
If you plan to withhold your child from kindergarten for the school year, Connecticut State Law 98-243 requires that you personally appear at the Glastonbury Public Schools Central Office and sign a document indicating that your child will be held out for the year. The purpose of the legislation is not to interfere with the rights of parents but to provide information to assist in making an informed decision. Please contact our registration coordinator at 860-652-7940 or registrar@glastonburyus.org to have the withholding form emailed to you.
