Kindergarten Registration Underway at Neighborhood Public Schools
(February 18, 2008) – Public schools in Center City, and throughout Philadelphia, are committed to providing the highest quality education for all of Philadelphia’s families and are now encouraging and accepting kindergarten registration for the 2008-2009 school year.
In order to register for kindergarten, a child must turn five years old on or before September 1, 2008. To register, parents must provide: the child’s birth certificate, the child’s up-to-date immunization records and a current proof of address in the parent or legal guardian’s name (gas or electric bill, PA driver’s license, PA vehicle registration or a pay stub).
The Philadelphia School District plans a kindergarten open house day on March 4 and a kindergarten open house week, May 12-16. Contact your neighborhood public school for details.
