Transition to Kindergarten
A child must be 5 years old on or before January 1st of the academic school year to be eligible to attend public school in West Hartford. Most schools begin their kindergarten screening and orientation process between March and May for the next school year. If you are unsure as to which school year your child will attend, choose from the following:
- use the Office of Residency's street-selector tool
- call the Office of Residency at 860-561-6620
Kindergarten registration for the 2020-21 school year will take place online. Please visit WHPS Online Registration for instructions.
