Kindergarten
Welcome to the Glastonbury 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.
Any child who will be five years of age on or before January 1, 2024 and meets all residency requirements, is eligible to begin kindergarten at the start of the 2023-24 school year. It is important that you register your kindergarten student as soon as possible, beginning in January of the year they will be starting school in the fall.
If you plan to enroll your child at a magnet school for kindergarten,
you still MUST register with Glastonbury Public Schools.
Register Your Kindergarten Student
Please review and follow the three steps below to register your kindergarten student at Glastonbury Public Schools.
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 first. Save your login information in case you need to return to this site. Please note, your registration is not complete until you have completed step #3.
3. Email the Registrar:
Instead of scheduling an in-person appointment, please email the registration coordinator to let her know you have completed step 2 online pre-registration. Please include your child(rens) name(s) and indicate whether you have loaded up the necessary forms into the program or if you will email the forms. The registration coordinator will contact you to let you know when the registration process is complete. Send any email 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.
