ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year will get under way next week, and parents and guardians can reserve their child’s seat by enrolling online beginning on Wednesday, April 12, 2023.

Families can also scan a QR code available at all elementary schools and on flyers distributed by AACPS to access the enrollment portal.
Families should have the following required documents in their possession and ready to be uploaded in a pdf, jpg, or png format when registering a child for kindergarten:
- Proof of identity
- The child’s original birth certificate or birth record
- A copy of the student’s immunization record

Families unable to access the registration portal have two additional options:
- Contact their student’s school to have a staff member complete the enrollment form on their behalf and submit the required enrollment documents electronically.
- Contact the school to schedule an in-person appointment. A limited number of in-person appointments will be available at schools and some appointments may not be available until the summer months.
Walk-in registrations will not be permitted.
