Private or parochial school enrollment
For families with students attending private or parochial schools, New York state requires each school district to account for all school-age children. Therefore, parents/guardians are required to register their children with the school district in which they reside (their home district). This meets state reporting requirements and informs the transportation department in the child’s home district to be aware of potential busing needs.
Immunization information
The New York State Education Department requires an annual physical exam for new students, students in grades K, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11; sports, working permits and triennially for the Committee on Special Education. All students must have record of having receiving the proper immunizations prior to starting school. It is recommended that parents and guardians discuss the requirements and address any questions or concerns with their child’s physician.
Daily building schedules
- Elementary schools (grades K-4): 8:45 a.m. to 3:25 p.m.
- Middle schools (grades 5-8): 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
- High school (grades 9-12): 7:45 a.m. to 2:07 p.m.
