If your child will turn five on or before September 1st, you can register them for Kindergarten.
To determine what school your child will attend for Kindergarten, please click on the following school assignment list; School Assignment List.
Once you determine your child’s school assignment, we recommended gathering the following required documents to complete the online registration process:
A. A certified copy of your child's birth certificate (with raised seal, not a photocopy)
B. Residency documents:
Warranty deed, current mortgage statement, current tax bill or a current fully signed lease (including landlord’s name and phone number); and
Two (2) current utility bills associated with the property (electric, gas, water, cable, landline phone bill, etc.). Cell phone bills are not acceptable.
If the student living with you is from another town, you must provide Affidavit #2 and Affidavit #3, which must be filled out by the Milford resident and the parents/guardians of the student. Both forms must be notarized.
If your family is living with or sharing the same residence with a Milford resident, you must provide Affidavit #1 and Affidavit #3, which must be filled out by the Milford resident and the parents/guardians of the student. Both forms must be notarized.
If Affidavits are provided per steps C or D above, the documents required in steps A and B shall be provided by the resident. Additionally, the parent/guardian shall provide two current documents in their name (court document, tax bill, medical bill, W-2, paystub, bank statement, current car loan statement, DMV current car registration, etc.) listing the property address.
C. A copy of the student’s latest physical exam (must have occurred within the past 12 months) and immunization record. Link to school health forms.
