Kindergarten Registration
To register for Kindergarten
Nottingham School is accepting registration information for next year's Kindergarten classes. If you have a child who will be 5 years old by September 30, 2026 and will be entering Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year, please contact Jen Daniels at jdaniels@nhsau107.gov to request a registration packet.
Please return the completed registration packet to the Main Office as soon as you can, as this will help us to know how many Kindergarten students to plan for. We will be having our Kindergarten screening day sometime in May 2026, so stay tuned for more information. We look forward to meeting all our incoming Kindergarten families!
