Westover Elementary School

Kindergarten Enrollment--Registration Begins March 18^th

Registration is for all children who will be 5 on or before September 1, 2024. For more information about eligibility guidelines, registration or required documents to complete an application, visit the kindergarten enrollment website.

Children who will turn 5 between September 2 and October 15 may be eligible for an Early Entrance to Kindergarten process. Children who are born after October 16 will not be eligible this school year. 

Online Registration: Go to your ParentVUE (if you have an account), or create an online ParentVUE account or obtain paperwork starting March 18^th. You will want to create a ParentVUE account regardless of whether you will register online or by paper; ParentVUE is how you access all records and communication about your child. Learn more about the online registration process.

Paper forms: MCPS will send us a packet of information registration forms soon, or we can collect the individual forms for you now, if you prefer to register by paper. 

You will want to start to collect documents for enrollment. 

• Proof of residence (lease, property tax bill)
• Proof of birth (birth certificate, passport)
• ID for the parent enrolling the child
• Health records; immunization records (either a print out from the doctor or a form) are required in order to start school but do not have to be received at this time to be registered. The SR-6 form must be completed by a physician. 
• We will have kindergarten registration packets available at school soon. If you choose to get the forms online, you will need to fill out the following forms:
  • 560-24, New Student Enrollment Form 560-24.pdf (montgomeryschoolsmd.org)
  • 565-1 Student Emergency Form 565-1.pdf (montgomeryschoolsmd.org)
  • 345-17 MD State Pre-Kindergarten Experience Form 345-17.pdf (montgomeryschoolsmd.org)

Please note as you fill out the registration form online or by paper: there are 3 questions about home language and it is critical that the impact of the survey is understood. If a language other than English is indicated by two of the 3 questions, students will be assessed for English language support services. If they test into Emerging Multilingual Language services, it is mandated that this is continued until assessment releases them.
