The District will require documentation and/or information establishing your child’s age. Please supply a certified transcript of a birth certificate or record of baptism (including a certified transcript of a foreign birth certificate or record of baptism) giving the date of birth. Where such documentation is not available, a passport (including a foreign passport) may be used.
 
Where birth certificate or passport is not available, the District may consider certain other evidence, which has been in existence two years or more. Other evidence may include, but will not be limited to the following:

• official driver’s license;
• state or other government issued identification;
• school photo identification with date of birth;

In accordance with New York State’s Public Health Law, the District must also receive evidence that your child has been immunized in accordance with the New York State Department of Heath Immunization Bureau’s Immunization Requirements for School Entrance/Attendance. These records will be necessary to ensure your child’s continued attendance. Additionally, please provide us with records of any recent physical examination your student has received. New York State mandates that each new student entering a public school is required to have a physical examination upon entering the District. A physical completed no more than twelve months before the first day of the school year in question will meet this requirement.

For information regarding a parent's rights regarding the referral and evaluation of a student for the purposes of special education services or programs, please refer to A Parent's Guide to Special Education, available on the New York State Education Department's website.

Students currently enrolled as a Victor UPK student in any of our UPK programs are already a Victor student and do not need to re-register for Kindergarten.  

The Early Childhood School will reach out to schedule a kindergarten screening appointment. This will be a time for a parent to bring the incoming kindergarten student to the Early Childhood School to complete a screening assessment, which includes a parent/staff conversation.

All new entrants to a school district must be screened prior to the school year, if possible. A screening appointment will help our school get to know the incoming kindergarten students, their interests, and skills to make thoughtful placement decisions for the kindergarten school year. Additionally, parents and caregivers will have the chance to meet with a school staff person to share additional information about each incoming kindergarten student.

After Kindergarten Information Night (Wednesday, April 17th at 6:00 PM in the Early Childhood School), check your email for a link to a sign up genius to sign up for a screening appointment. Screening appointments will be held at the Early Childhood School.

Yes. The Early Childhood School has a planned Kindergarten Information Night on Wednesday, April 17th at 6:00 PM in the Early Childhood School.

For K-6 students, after all registration requirements are received, your child's school records will be requested from the previous school. Once the records arrive, the building secretary will contact you to let you know the name of your child's teacher and start date.  If the previous school records are sent along quickly, the student is usually enrolled within a couple days.  

The child's parent or legal guardian can register a student.

The parent/guardian with primary custody of the child must register the child. Additionally, the parent with primary custody must maintain residence within the Victor School District boundaries. The child must spend the majority of the school year with that parent/guardian. A copy of your custody agreement is required.
 

Registration is completed online or in the Student Registration Office located in the District Office. The individual school buildings do not accept student registrations.

Contract the District Registrar, Carole Fenner, either by phone or email.
