All resident students born on or before Dec. 1, 2020, are eligible to register for kindergarten for the 20252026 school year. It is important for families to know that all registration forms must be submitted and approved before a spot will be held for a student.
Information packets
Kindergarten information packets are being mailed this month to families that the district knows have a child eligible to enter kindergarten. Contact your home school to be placed on its mailing list. If you don’t know which building would be your “home” school download the district’s “Street Code Book” at liverpool.k12.ny.us/ departments/student-services/school-boundaries. Find your street to determine which of the four K-2 elementary schools your child will attend in September 2025. Four Liverpool CSD schools house students in kindergarten through second grade: Donlin Drive Elementary (DDE), Elmcrest Elementary (EE), Long Branch Elementary (LBE) and Willow Field Elementary (WFE). If you have an eligible child, but do not receive an information packet by Jan. 27, contact your home school to request a packet.
