Registration for students entering Kindergarten in Fall 2019 started on March 11th. Kindergarten is mandatory in Maryland, so if your child turns 5 by September 1, 2019, you must register your child for the 2019-20 school year. Parents or guardians are to register students at the school serving the address where the child’s parent or guardian resides. Information on neighborhood schools can be found through School Locator http://hcpss-gis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=06528401636a4a48b1ef681c66a61a07 on the school system web site or by calling the Public Information Office at 410-313-6682. New this school year: parents/guardians can start the registration process online!
