​Is your child eligible for kindergarten? To enroll in kindergarten for the 2026–2027 school year, your child must turn five by August 31, 2026. If your child was eligible for kindergarten in the 2025–2026 school year but did not enroll, they are still eligible to attend kindergarten in 2026–2027 or, if they have turned six by August 31, 2026, they may be eligible to begin first grade.​

Current RISE students Transitioning to Kindergarten

If your student is currently enrolled in the RISE preschool program, you won’t need to complete the full registration process required for new incoming students. Instead, we kindly ask that you complete two forms included with this letter to finalize your enrollment:

  1. Early Childhood Education Experience Survey
  2. Language Survey

Please complete the forms promptly to secure your child’s spot in kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year. If you decide not to enroll your child in the Reading Public Schools for kindergarten, please email RPSStudentRegistration@reading.k12.ma.us to let us know. By January 1, we will share an informational recording that explains the registration process, offers helpful tips, and provides an overview of the kindergarten program. If you have any questions about the process or your child’s transition, join us for the Virtual Kindergarten Q&A session on January 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM via Zoom.
