West Perry School District typically holds an in-person Kindergarten Registration Event in late March/early April for the upcoming school year. Paper packets are mailed to families of school-age children in late February. These families are identified by our census data, so please ensure the census form is correct.
Registration for 2024-25 school year
If your child will be 5 years old before September 1, 2024, he/she is eligible for Kindergarten in the 2024-25 school year.
Although the in-person Kindergarten Registration event is over, you should still complete the online enrollment for your child as soon as possible.
COMPLETE ONLINE ENROLLMENT FORM
Parents or court-appointed guardians living in the West Perry School District may register a student. Exceptions apply to homeless youth (according to the McKinney-Vento Act), migrant and foster students. A student living with someone other than a parent will be registered in accordance with guidelines set by PA Public School Code section 24 P.S. 13-1302. Residents, other than the parent or court-appointed guardian, will be asked to sign an affidavit stating that they and the student live in this District on a full-time basis.
