Kindergarten Registration/Screening
During the week of May 4th, we will be screening all incoming kindergarten students for the 2026-2027 school year. If you have not yet registered your school-age child, please call our District Registrar, Amanda Snyder, at 315-697-6326 right away to set up an appointment and to request a registration packet. Packets can be downloaded below and mailed or dropped off or they can be picked up from the main office at Peterboro Street Elementary School between 8am-4pm on days school is in session.
Registration must be done in person by the resident parent or legal guardian who needs to bring a photo ID. Please note that your child does not need to accompany you to registration. All resident students born on or before December 1, 2021, are eligible to register for Kindergarten for the 2026–2027 school year. Per NYS Law, children must be five years old on or before December 1, 2026 to qualify.
