Kindergarten Registration Now Open for the 2025-2026 School Year

Forest Hills School District is thrilled to welcome the newest group of students for the 2025-2026 school year! Incoming kindergarten and interested preschool families are encourged to get a jump start to join our award-winning elementary and early childhood education programs.

Kindergarten Enrollment

Beginning January 22, 2025, families can register students for Kindergarten as well as other grade levels for the upcoming school year. Kindergarten offers flexible options to suit family needs, including full-day and half-day options. You can refer to the Forest Hills Street Guide to find out which schools your child would attend based on street address. 

If your child is currently enrolled in the FHSD Preschool program (or receiving special education preschool services at an outside program) and will transition to FHSD kindergarten in the 2025-2026 school year, you do not need to complete the new student registration process in FinalForms. Instead, you will receive an email from FHSD Preschool administration with directions to continue enrollment in the school district for the next school year.
