students and principal at Highland Goffe's Falls Elementary celebrate being named school of the year

MANCHESTER – Manchester School District is now registering new students for the 2023-24 school year, including kindergarten. Starting this week and continuing through early May, each elementary school will be hosting an in-person sign-up day, with computers and registration support available. 

In addition to the daytime events at each school, there will be one night-time registration event, set for May 11 from 5-6:30 p.m. at Beech Street School. 

“Starting today, families can register new students to start school in the fall,” said Superintendent of Schools Jennifer Gillis. “We understand that online registration may not work for all, so we’re holding in-person registration opportunities, as well. This is an exciting time as we start looking ahead to the new school year – we’re really looking forward to welcoming new students and their families to our district.”

Students must be 5 years old by Sept. 30 in order to register for kindergarten. Whether registering online or in person, you’ll need the following documents to get your student signed up: child’s birth certificate, two proofs of residence and the child's last well child exam and immunizations records. You register online and find step-by-step instructions and important information at www.mansd.org/page/register-a-student.
