Kindergarten Registration for 2024-2025: Greetings, MPS Families! We are pleased to announce that Kindergarten Registration for the 2024-2025 school year opened on Monday, November 13, 2023. If you have a child who will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, registration information will be posted to the district website www.milforded.org. You must register your child for Kindergarten at the school determined by your street address, unless placed by Pupil Personnel Services. School/Street Assignments are available on the district website under “District Information.” Children born on or before September 1, 2019 are eligible to register for Kindergarten. If your child is not age-eligible (born September 2, 2019 through December 31, 2019), please use the online registration form to request a waiver. Any current MPS Preschool or Ready To Learn (RTL) students will need to complete an online registration form. If you need assistance with the registration portal, please contact the main office of your district assigned school. School contact information can be found on the district website under “ Schools.” We are excited for your children to join us! Fully registered families, please be on the lookout for more information from your school’s Principal about an in person kindergarten event in the spring. In the meantime, click here for a sneak peek of what to expect in Kindergarten! We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2037!
