Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Registration
    
Keeping Your Child Healthy

As part of registering your child for Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten, you will be asked to complete an online registration. This will include a health section for you to complete for your child.  The school nurse will review your child's health needs prior to them entering school.
   
In addition, Maine State Law requires that a child be fully immunized in order to attend school.  When completing the online registration there is a link to upload your child's immunization records. 
 
As the immunization requirements differ for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students, below are the guidelines to follow for both grades.
