The New Providence School District will be accepting incoming kindergarten and first grade student registration for the 2023-2024 school year beginning on January 5, 2023 continuing through February 16, 2023.  A child must be five years of age on or before October 1, 2023 to be eligible for enrollment into kindergarten.  A child must be six years of age on or before October 1, 2023 to be eligible for enrollment into first grade.  We are excited to announce that this coming school year, 2023-2024, the district will be offering full- day kindergarten.  Please click here to learn more information about our new program.  

The registration process will be completed exclusively online for the 2023-2024 school year.  Our registration process is now a two-part registration. You will first complete a pre-registration, and once the submission is accepted, you will receive an automated email with instructions on how to fill out the remaining registration forms. 

The pre-registration portal link is located on the Student Registration page here.  Only a Custodial Parent/Legal Guardian can register a student.
