Welcome Incoming 2024-25 Kindergarten Families !

In order to be eligible for entrance to kindergarten in September of 2024, a child must be five years old on or before August 31, 2024.

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 can be sent directly to Mel McFayden at 1 Lord Square, Ipswich, MA 01938. These can also be emailed directly to mmcfayden@ipsk12.net.
