Watertown Public Schools Central Registration
Eligibility
The Connecticut General Assembly passed a new law pertaining to children entering kindergarten. A child must be 5 years old on or before September 1st in order to register for kindergarten in that school year.
State law and the Board of Education policy state that a child is to be educated in the town in which he or she resides. It is illegal to misrepresent your place of residence for the purpose of gaining educational services. To ensure that those registering in our schools are legal residents of the Watertown Public Schools, parents in the towns of Oakville and Watertown are asked to provide documentation that proves residency.
To enroll in Watertown Public Schools, you must be a resident of Watertown/Oakville. For the full Board of Education Residency Policy (5033R), please visit the link below.
