Documents required to register children for 2013-14 school year

The Garrison Union Free School will hold registration for kindergarten on Tuesday, Feb. 5, and Wednesday, Feb. 6, from 1 – 3 p.m. in the hallway outside the main office.

To register a child for kindergarten during the 2013-14 school year, the child must be 5 years old by Dec. 31, 2013. A parent or guardian needs to bring the child’s original birth certificate, immunization records and proof of residency. To document residency, owners should bring a signed contract of sale or deed and a utility/service bill (electric, telephone, cable, etc.). Renters should bring two of the following: a notarized affidavit of landlord, rent receipt (within 30 days) that indicates address, and a utility/service bill (electric, telephone, cable, etc.).

Information about the May 1 Orientation will be given out at the registration. Children being registered do not need to accompany parents or guardians for registration. For additional information, call the school at 845-424-3689, ext. 230 or 221.
