Registration for the 2025-2026 school year begins March 3, 2025. Parents/guardians of children who will be five on or before September 1, 2024, must enroll their children in kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year. Use this link to find more information and start the enrollment process.
On or after March 3, 2025, parents/guardians can begin the enrollment process online, where you also can upload the required documents. Your child’s school will contact you to schedule a meeting to complete the registration process. During this meeting, you will be asked to verify parental relationships and submit any additional required documentation.
Current HCPSS prekindergarten students do not need to be re-registered for kindergarten because they are already enrolled as an HCPSS student.
Complete information on enrollment in Howard County public schools can be found on our Enrollment page.
