That day that some parents rejoice over and some cry over is coming. It's time to get your baby registered for kindergarten. Opening registration dates vary all over Morris County. Registering as early as possible can be the difference in some districts between your neighborhood school or your child being bussed elsewhere in district. Priority is always given to those with siblings.
Stuck with the forms, your school is there to help. Remember, the main office security in an elementary school is a great resource. They will be there to help you for the next many years. Be kind, they have a lot on their plate!
Remember, kindergarten cut off dates around Morris County are 5 years old by October 1.
Here are links to Kindergarten registrations around Morris County, along with links to get you right there!
