Kindergarten Registration
Welcome to the Manchester Township School District Kindergarten Registration Page! Here is where you will register for our Full-Day Kindergarten Program.
NOTE: If your child is currently enrolled in our Universal Preschool Preschool Program and will be 5 years old by October 1, 2023, you are already registered with a profile. Please do not create another profile. HOWEVER, it is necessary that you update your child’s medical information because as a child reaches 5-years-old, certain immunizations/boosters are necessary to start Kindergarten. For any health and wellness related questions, please contact nurse Shannon Sharpe at 732-391-3633 or at ssharpe@mtschools.org.
To begin, please visit our Registration Portal where all new registrants are to create a profile.
Upon receipt of your Preregistration, the District Registrar will reach out to you directly via email to send you the required documents needed for Kindergarten.
The District Registrar will also prompt you to make an appointment for the required in-person screening at this time. Screenings for the 2023-24 school year will be held May 9, 10 and 11 between the times of 9am and 3pm. Appointments can not be set up until all required paperwork has been submitted.
