Registration for Next School Year
Attention families looking to register for next school year:

Please keep in mind:
Preschool students must be 3 or 4 years of age by August 31, 2025 and be toilet trained. Pre-registration does not guarantee a spot in the preschool program as there are limited spots available.
For kindergarten, children must be 5 years old by August 31, 2025. Any student currently attending the Jones Early Childhood Center for preschool that will be entering kindergarten in the fall must still register for kindergarten.
Students only need to register for grades 1-12 if they do not currently attend the Stoughton Public Schools.
