Kindergarten Timeline

Please follow the following steps to ensure that your child is fully registered for Kindergarten:

1. March 1st, 2026 – Registration Begins Online: nak12.net/k-reg 
   The registration process identifies the number of students who will attend kindergarten. All students must be registered. If you have any questions, please contact Tiffany Goddard, Kindergarten Principal, at goddardt@northandoverpublicschools.com. Your child must be 5 years of age on or before August 31. See School Committee Entrance Age Policy (JEB).

2. Kindergarten Registration Process: Once you have registered online and it has been processed, you will receive an email with login information for your Powerschool Parent Portal Account. Login to the Parent Portal and navigate to the "forms" tab to complete all of the online forms. Please have all required documents ready to upload once you begin the online registration process. Having these documents prepared in advance will help you complete the registration smoothly and without delay. Your child will be considered officially enrolled when these forms are completed and when you email or upload all of the required paperwork.
   View and print the Registration Document Checklist. Copies of necessary paperwork may be emailed to Vianna DeOleo.

3. Kindergarten Screening – Kindergarten Screening is required by state law, it is merely a screening, not an entrance test. We welcome all children who are 5 years old by August 31st to Kindergarten. Your child will be screened by one of North Andover’s kindergarten teachers in a one to one setting for approximately 20 minutes. Children typically enjoy the screening. Following the screening the same teacher will briefly meet with you to review the results. If a relative or friend is escorting your child to the screening appointment, please let us know if we may share screening results with them.
