The is preparing for kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year. All resident students born on or before December 1, 2019, are eligible to register for kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year.
It is important for families to know that all registration forms must be submitted and approved before a spot will be held for a student.
Information Packets
In January, kindergarten information packets will be mailed to families that the district knows have a child eligible to enter kindergarten. Please contact your home school to be placed on its mailing list.
If you don’t know which building would be your “home” school please download the district's “Street Code Book." Find your street to determine which of the four K-2 elementary schools your child will attend in September 2024.
Four Liverpool CSD schools house students in kindergarten through second grade: Donlin Drive Elementary (DDE), Elmcrest Elementary (EE), Long Branch Elementary (LBE) and Willow Field Elementary (WFE).
If you have an eligible child, but do not receive an information packet by January 26, contact your home school to request a packet.
