MELROSE— The deadline to register your child for kindergarten is March 30.
Kindergarten pre-registration has closed and in-person registration is now underway. If you did not pre-register you must fill out a paper registration form found on the school department’s website – https://www.melroseschools.com/sites/g/files/vyhlif876/f/uploads/kindergarten_registration_complete_packet_2.pdf
Once your packet is complete you must schedule an in-person appointment using Sign-up Genius and can do so here – https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4faba622a3f4c43-kindergarten1
If you did not pre-register, you must bring a paper packet with you to the in-person appointment.
In person registration is by appointment only through March 30th. Please arrive promptly for your scheduled appointment. If you arrive early you may have to wait; if you arrive late you may need to reschedule your appointment. We ask that only one person attends this in person registration. Children do not need to be present at this time.
What to bring with you:
1: A print out of your completed registration.
