Kindergarten Registration for SY 2024-25

ONLINE REGISTRATION

For students new to Howard County, you can now begin the online registration process! It is recommended that you work on a laptop or desktop to complete registration. Cell phone registration is not recommended. For details about registration and enrollment, visit www.hcpss.org/enroll/. Please call our PLES front office at 410-313-6886 or email Mrs. Self or Ms. Sutkaytis with questions.
 

If you have a child currently attending an HCPSS PreK program, there is no need to re-register your student for Kindergarten. Also, if your child is a current HCPSS student at PLES or any other HCPSS school, please DO NOT re-register your student.
 

Kindergarten is mandatory in Maryland, so if your child turns 5 by September 1, 2024, you must register your child for the 2024-25 school year. Parents or guardians are to register students at the school serving the address where the child’s parent or guardian resides. Information on neighborhood schools can be found through School Locator https://hcpss-gis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=b1d3153921514fbead0abb0f92090217 on the school system web site or by calling the Public Information Office at 410-313-6682.
 

Step 1: Register Online Here: https://sisparents.hcpss.org/PXP2_OEN_Login.aspx

Step 2: Complete registration online by providing the documents listed below. The registration process is easier if you upload them during online registration. Otherwise, you will be asked to submit them via email as pdfs. I-phone users can scan documents through your notes app. (Images must be clear.)

The following documents are needed for registration:

  • Child’s evidence of birth (ie: birth certificate, baptismal certificate)

  • Evidence of parental relationship (child’s birth certificate or court document)

  • An authorized record of immunizations

  • Proof of residency in the form of a signed lease or deed, including signature pages

  • Current utility bill

If you do not own or rent your home and have a multi-family living arrangement, an appointment with our PPW, Ronda Lennon, is required. A representative of the host family and guest family must be present for the appointment. Email ronda_lennon@hcpss.org for more information.
