By Maria Barrette, Editor of Macaroni KID Waltham+ and Macaroni KID Newton-Brookline February 11, 2025

Parents all across Massachusetts have begun to prepare for kindergarten registration for the Fall or 2025. Since each district has its own procedures and deadlines, research is key. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education offers helpful resources and general information, while contacting your child's prospective school directly will provide their specific requirements. Be prepared to provide documents like proof of residency, immunization records, and a birth certificate. Gathering these ahead of time will simplify registration and ensure a smooth start to your child's schooling. School staff are available to answer any questions and support families through this process. Below is some basic information to get your registration process started.
