Kindergarten Registration 2026-2027

February 9, 2026

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of the Class of 2039,

Welcome to the Dartmouth Public Schools! It is an exciting time for you and your family as your child gets ready for kindergarten. While there is much information to absorb and forms to complete, our goal is to make it as easy and seamless as possible.
The process to enroll your kindergarten student in the Dartmouth Public schools is online. Our Online Portal can be found at Dartmouth Public Schools Registration Page and is currently open for Kindergarten registration.

In order to register your student must:
● Be five years old prior to September 1st
● Reside in the Town of Dartmouth

It's important to register your soon-to-be Kindergarten student as soon as possible. We aim to have all registrations completed by mid-April so we can plan for the 2026-2027 school year and have registered Kindergarteners attend Orientation. If you have friends, relatives or neighbors who live in Dartmouth, and will be registering a Kindergarten age child, please pass on this information.
Registration is also available by appointment at Central Office, 8 Bush Street, Dartmouth, MA.


You will be contacted about scheduling a Kindergarten screening at a later date.
If you have any questions please contact Jennifer Machado, Registrar at 508-997-3391, Ext. 1108 or  jennifermachado@dartmouthschools.org


Sincerely,
Dr. June Saba-Maguire
Superintendent of Schools
