For families and guardians of children born on or before September 1, 2020, this legislation has no effect on the
registration process. Those students will continue to be eligible to begin Kindergarten in the 2025-2026 school year and
are strongly encouraged to participate in the regular Cherry Brook Primary School Kindergarten Registration and
Screening process.
For families and guardians of children born between September 2, 2020 and December 31, 2020 will not be
IMMEDIATELY eligible to begin Kindergarten until the 2026-2027 school year. It is important to note that the legislation
does provide that children “may still be admitted into kindergarten upon (1) a written request from the parent or guardian,
and (2) an assessment completed by the school that determines admitting the child to kindergarten would be
developmentally appropriate.”
If you have a child/ren planning to start Kindergarten in 2025-26 we ask you to please complete this FORM by

We appreciate your collaboration and we ask that you share this information with any families in town with children under
the age of five.
