Kindergarten Registration

Two children work together at a classroom table, molding sand in a tray beside a rack of colorful scissors while a teacher looks on.

At GCS, your child will feel nurtured, safe and challenged in all the best ways. 

It's time for your child to embark on an exciting journey, and Guilford County Schools will support you every step of the way. Throughout the Kindergarten year, your child will experience remarkable growth and transformation academically, socially and emotionally. Our caring and credentialed educators know how to help them thrive and are deeply committed to each student.

We can't wait to get to know your child. From the time we greet them in the morning to the time we return them safely to you, excited about their day, our goal is to invest in them with great care, dedication and love. Your child's education and well-being mean everything to us. We don't just want them to learn — we want them to love learning. Every day is an opportunity for new discoveries as we help build a solid foundation for their future.

What You Need to Register Your Child for Kindergarten

If you are experiencing homelessness, your child has certain educational rights under federal legislation. Forms and information are available at each school.

A Student in Transition Affidavit must be completed for each child. For questions, contact the office of Homeless and Transitional Services at (336) 370-2329

 

We encourage families to enroll in the spring to ensure you receive all important communication from your child's school.

If you have any questions regarding the online registration process, please call the GCS Student Assignment Office at (336) 370-8303.
