Whether your child is starting Kindergarten or you are moving from another district, the registration process can be completed from your home using our online Synergy portal.

To complete registration, you will need these documents:

• Child's legal certified Birth Certificate - must be an original copy

• Proof of Address (examples: utility bill, rent receipt, updated drivers license with the correct address on front)

• KG ONLY: Dental screening proof within 6 months prior to starting school

• KG ONLY: Vision screening results (from a well-child visit)

• If you do not have all these documents, you can still proceed with the registration process. You can provide them to your school at a later time.
