Registration Reminder for New 1st Grade Students in Westfield Public Schools

Westfield parents who have children reaching the age of 6 on or beforeOctober 1, 2014, are reminded to register their children now for first grade in September.

This registration reminder applies only to students who have not yet been registered in the Westfield Public Schools for the 2014-2015 school year.  It does not apply to current Lincoln School kindergarten students.  

“Formal registration took place in January, but with new families moving into town, we are encouraging these parents to register their children,” stated Margaret Dolan, Superintendent of Schools. 

 “This will permit better planning for appropriate classroom assignments and learning environments for our incoming children,” she added.  Dr. Dolan explained that first grade enrollment is historically higher than kindergarten so accurate registration numbers assist greatly in projecting staffing and space requirements. If parents are uncertain regarding where to register their children for first grade or any grade, they may call Jean Rogers in the Office of the Superintendent at 908-789-4420.
