School Registration 2026-2027

In this episode of A Moment with Marley, we would like to remind families about school registration for the 2026-2027 school year. Whether your child is starting kindergarten, or your family has recently moved to Meriden, understanding the registration process can help make the transition smooth and stress-free.  Registering early helps schools plan for staffing, classroom space, transportation and student services. Families who need to reschedule their registration appointment are encouraged to do so as early as possible, as August is typically a high-volume registration month and appointment availability may be limited. It also gives families plenty of time to gather any required documents and complete health requirements before the school year begins. To start the process families should visit Meriden Public Schools’ registration webpage at www.meridenk12.org/parents/registration.  From there you will start with the online registration form. You will then schedule your in-person appointment for each student you would like to enroll. The Central Registration office is located in the Health & Human Services Department building at 165 Miller Street.  During your appointment, you will meet with staff from central registration to complete any additional paperwork, hand in required documents, and you will visit our Public Health Clinic.  Our staff in the clinic will ensure your child meets the State of Connecticut’s health requirements to attend school.  Students entering Kindergarten will need a physical dated on or after August 26, 2025. Part of the physical must include lead and hemoglobin levels, and students must be up to date on school required vaccines. Students entering seventh or tenth grade will need a physical dated on or after June 1, 2025. If your child is entering seventh grade they must have their Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines. Paperwork, including physical exams and proof of immunizations, must be received by our Public Health Clinic before the first day of school in order for your child to be medically cleared to attend.  Our Clinic, located at 165 Miller Street, is open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm. We will be open until 6:00pm on Wednesday, June 24 for those needing after-hours drop off. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please call our Clinic at (203) 630-4234.
