Kindergarten Registration, Preschool Lottery Information for the 2026-2027 School Year
Forest Hills School District is thrilled to welcome the newest group of students for the 2026-2027 school year!
Kindergarten Registration
Beginning January 20, 2026, families can register students for Kindergarten as well as other grade levels for the upcoming school year. Kindergarten offers flexible options to suit family needs, including full-day and half-day options. Please refer to the Forest Hills Street Guide to determine the child’s school of attendance. Please note that half day kindergarten is not offered at all six elementary schools, and the locations are determined by the number of sections needed throughout the district to accommodate families who choose this option.
If your child is currently enrolled in the FHSD Preschool program (or receiving special education preschool services at an outside program) and will transition to FHSD kindergarten in the 2026-2027 school year, you do not need to complete the new student registration process in FinalForms. Instead, you will receive an email from FHSD Preschool administration with directions to continue enrollment in the school district for the next school year.
