Kindergarten Registration
Deadline March 31, 2026

If you have a child who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2026, the deadline to register him/her is March 31, 2026. We will be making individual in-person appointments during the months of February and March. To make an appointment for registration, please call or e-mail Ms. Chamesian at 201-664-7176 ext. 1000 or [email protected].

Please note the following:
To be eligible for Kindergarten, your child must turn
5 years of age on or before October 1, 2026.

There are three phases to the registration process: 1.) an ONLINE portion; 2.) a PAPER portion; 3.) an IN-PERSON proof-of-residency portion.

 Online: The link for submitting your child’s registration information, which includes family and emergency contacts, is available on the Old Tappan Schools’ website (https://oldtappanschools.org/for_parents/new_student_registration). Please access the registration link and follow the directions.

 Paper: The paper portion of the registration packet can be found on the Old Tappan Schools’ website (www.oldtappanschools.org) to be printed, or you may pick up the paper packet from our school during school hours. When you come to the school for Step #3, bring the completed paper packet with you.

 In-Person (by appointment only): Bring completed paper forms, original proof-of-residency documents, and one additional copy of all documentation to the T. Baldwin Demarest Elementary School Office located at One School Street during your scheduled appointment.

 If you have another child in the Old Tappan Schools, the full registration process must be completed again. Should you have any questions, call or e-mail Ms. Chamesian at 201-664-7176 ext. 1000 or [email protected].

We look forward to having your child join our Old Tappan school family!
