Information for Families

We are now accepting registrations for kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year. If you have a child in the afternoon PK class, you do not need to do anything to register.

Please note that last year, the State of Connecticut changed the law regarding when students can enter kindergarten.  The new law says students must be 5 years old by September 1st (it used to be January 1st).

They also provided that parents of students that turn 5 between September 1st and January 1st can request a waiver in order to enter kindergarten early.  In response to the recent change in legislation, here are our plans at Fields Memorial School:

• Parents of students that are eligible for kindergarten can complete the registration form available to download from the website or by stopping by school to pick up a hard copy.

• Parents of students that will turn five (5) between September 2nd and January 1st can request a waiver by writing a letter or email to the principal (ipolun@bozrah.org) making the request.  These requests should be received no later than Friday, April 11, 2025

• Other dates to note:

  • By Friday, April 25, 2025  - Parents contacted to set up an appointment for the kindergarten readiness assessment 

  • Week of Friday, April 28, 2025 - Readiness assessments occur from 11:50 am to around 1:00 pm. 

  • By Friday, May 17, 2025 - Parent meetings/calls held to discuss the results of the assessment and provide waivers

We will put this information on the website and the TWIB, but please share with anyone you know that may be interested in enrolling their child in kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year.
