Frequently Asked Questions:

Is there an in-person registration option?

No. The registration process is entirely online this year.

Can I still register a student for kindergarten after the deadline?

Yes, but it's helpful for the school to complete the full registration and screening process in the spring to best prepare a student and their future classroom setting for the fall. Registrants after the deadline will be screened at a future time to be determined.

Why don't current Mill Road pre-K students' need to be registered?

The registration process is meant to enter a students' information and family contact information into the school's database. Because pre-K students are already in the database, nothing more is needed.

What is the purpose of the in-person screening?

The screening is an opportunity for Mill Road staff to welcome students to the school and let them begin to feel comfortable. Staff checks on a student's basic kindergarten readiness in the areas of self-care, language, cognitive skills, and fine and gross motor skills. The students also meet with our school nurse, who will carry out a hearing a vision screening, while parents and guardians have the opportunity to meet with school staff. 

When will I schedule my screening?

Once you complete the online registration, you can expect to receive a call to schedule a time for the screening. The screening days are April 2 and 3, 2025.

Where is the school?

Mill Road Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5, is located at 9 Mill Road, Red Hook, NY, 12571. The entrance for the PK-2 side of the school is on the northern side of the building.
