• Welcome Incoming 2025-26 Kindergarten Families !

    In order to be eligible for entry to kindergarten in September of 2025, a child must be five years old on or before August 31, 2025.

    Step 1: Kindergarten Roundup

    Kindergarten Roundup is the first step in the kindergarten registration process.  Each year at this time, we try to determine the names of children who will enter kindergarten in the Ipswich Public Schools in September.  It is essential that we have these names now so that we can begin the school registration process and plan for classes.  

    Please complete the Kindergarten Roundup Form HERE.

    Step 2: Enrollment Paperwork

    Once you have completed the Kindergarten Roundup, you should begin the enrollment paperwork. 

    Completed enrollment packets should be returned to 1 Lord Square, Ipswich between March 1, 2025 and March 15, 2025. The Central Administration Office will be open Monday-Friday between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM or the forms can be dropped off in the mail slot after hours.  In the event you cannot submit your paperwork during this time, you can mail it or schedule a time to drop it off by emailing mmcfayden@ipsk12.net.

    Enrollment packets can be found by clicking HERE.

    If you would like to request a hard copy, please email mmcfayden@ipsk12.net with your name and address. 

    In addition to a completed enrollment packet, the following documents are also required and must be included when enrolling your student:

    • Residency Documentation (as outlined on page 1 and 2 of the enrollment packet)
    • Notarized Residency Affidavit (in lieu of other residency documents)
    • Birth Certificate
    • Immunization Record
    • Current Physical
    • Individualized Education Plan (when applicable)
    • 504 Accommodation Plan (when applicable)

    Also included in the enrollment packet is an Authorization for Release of Student Records Form. If your child is currently enrolled in preschool, please submit this form to your child’s preschool. The preschool will complete the form and return it directly to 1 Lord Square. You  do not need to wait for that form to be completed to submit your other enrollment documents.
