Registration Information

In its continued effort to serve the residents of the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, the Office of Registration will continually pursue efficiently placing children in the schools of their choice.

The office is located at the Board of Education at 124 Grand Street in Newburgh, New York. It is responsible for the registration of all students new to the District, or those re-entering. It also has the responsibility of distributing and equalizing enrollment among nine elementary schools and three mid-level school buildings. It designs and implements all aspects of the registration and transfer process guided by the recommendations and policies of the Newburgh Board of Education.

In order to accomplish this, a lottery may be necessary at the Kindergarten level each year. If the number of applications to a certain school exceeds the number of seats available at that school, a lottery may be necessary. Siblings of students already enrolled in particular schools have preference of that building.

The office is open daily throughout the school year from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. throughout the summer months. Parents who find these times inconvenient due to work may make an appointment, and the office will accommodate them.

The parents of Non-English or Limited English speaking children may choose Bi-Lingual or ESL as an option for their children. These children must be tested on any Tuesday or Thursday morning throughout the year at the Office of Registration.

Parents are reminded that requirements for registration are as follows and are required at the time of registration.

* Child must be 5 years of age by December 31st of the year they enter school
* Birth Certificate / Baptisimal Certificate
