Kindergarten Registration & District Wide Open Houses

Residency Requirement

Only those students who are legal residents of the Newburgh District and who are of legal age are entitled to attend Newburgh Schools. A child’s residence is determined by the residence of the child’s parents or legal custodial person. 

Non-Resident families who wish to enroll their children in the Newburgh School District must first apply in writing and are considered based on a number of established criteria. All Non-Resident students must pay tuition. 

Questions concerning residency eligibility should be brought to the attention of the Office of Registration located at 124 Grand Street or call (845) 534-KIDS.

A child must be five years old on or before December 1, 2017 to be eligible for kindergarten. If a child is currently attending one of the NECSD Universal Pre-K Program In-District Sites or one of the NECSD Pre-K Program Provider Sites there is no need to register; a one page choice application will be sent home with the child. All other children who are not currently enrolled in one of our programs must register at the BOE/Library Complex.
