Children are eligible to register for Kindergarten entrance in September if they are 5 years old by October 31 of that year. For example, students can register for the 2023-2024 school year, if they will be 5 years old by October, 31, 2023.

To register your child for school we will need to gather some information. Here is how the process works:

1. You will need to complete the registration form (see below).
2. After completing the form, our registrar will contact you and schedule an in-person appointment.
3. At this appointment, you will need to bring the documentation listed below. Please note that without all of the below items, we cannot register your child.
   • Proof of Residency (deed, lease agreement)
   • Utility bill, showing parent’s name and address
   • Original birth certificate or passport
   • Immunization records
4. After the documentation is verified you will sign an affidavit of residency. Once this is completed, your child is registered.
5. As part of the registration process, you will be required to provide your student’s current physical and dental exam reports.
6. After your child is fully registered online, you will be given appointments for a one-hour morning Kindergarten Orientation Program in May as well as a student screening. You will not be able to make these appointments until you have fully completed the online registration.

If you have any questions or concerns during the enrollment process, please contact the IEF front office at (732) 968-1052.
