Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) is urging parents to register their children for kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year by July 1, 2023. This will help ensure adequate staffing for each school.
To be eligible for kindergarten, a child must be five years old by September 1, 2023, and only a parent or legal guardian may register the child. CCPS is also requiring several documents for registration, including the front and back of the parent’s driver’s license, the child’s birth certificate, proof of residency, and the child’s immunization record. In addition, parents must complete and print out several Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) forms, including a physical form and a lead form.
Although the physical form does not need to be submitted immediately, it must be provided to the school within six months of registration. The lead form is required for all students entering pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, or first grade.
There are two ways for parents to submit the required documents: they can either scan and upload them on the online registration portal or mail/drop them off at their designated school. Parents should use the PowerSchool Online Registration Portal from the CCPS Online Registration webpage to begin their registration. The school district recommends using Google Chrome when accessing the portal.
All of the above information and forms are available on the CCPS Online Registration webpage.
