Kindergarten Registration: It's as Easy as 1-2-3...
Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, between January and April. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps schools prepare and ensure they have the necessary teachers and resources in place on the first day of school.
After determining which school your child will attend, families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms. FCPS offers support and resources to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more details and support in other languages, visit the Registration webpage.
There’s an easy five-step process for parents wanting to register their child for kindergarten:
- Determine eligibility.
- Identify your local school.
- Gather documents.
- Fill out forms.
- Schedule an appointment.
After the appointment at the school (the student and one guardian must be present), the student will be ready for our orientation in March (stay tuned for more information). Read more about the registration process. For additional information, please contact Lynn Warner, lawarener@fcps.edu, our school registrar.
Try Online Registration
Online registration for the 2025-26 school year is open. Parents/caregivers may register their children online for kindergarten through 12th grade. Learn how to begin the online registration process.
When registering, parents/caregivers will need to create or log in to an existing SIS ParentVUE account.
