Kindergarten, pre-school registration to begin March 18 for LCPS schools
New kindergarteners will be welcomed into LCPS classrooms on August 26, but all elementary schools will host early registration for those students and pre-kindergarten students from March 18-22 from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On Thursday, March 21, registration will be held from 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
Early registration for entering pre-school and kindergarten students in Lenoir County for the 2024-2025 school year will be held March 18-22 at all LCPS elementary schools from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
On Thursday, March 21, registration will be held from 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
New kindergartners must be 5 years old on or before Aug. 31 and pre-schoolers must be 3 or 4 years old on or before Aug. 31.
Pre-school registration for children who will be 3 years old on or before Aug. 31, 2024, will begin June 1.
LCPS has moved to an online registration process that asks parents and guardians to provide the same information as previously required but has the potential for streamlining the process. Parents and guardians can create an account for student enrollment at this link: https://lenoirncc.scriborder.com.
Assistance with the online process will be provided at the elementary schools for parents and guardians.
Early registration is encouraged by Lenoir County Public Schools in order to ensure children meet all the requirements to begin school on the first day and that parents and guardians have an opportunity to get answers to questions concerning immunization, transportation, food programs and other aspects of the preschool and kindergarten programs.
The 2024-2025 school year begins on Aug. 26, although kindergarten students and pre-schoolers will have staggered attendance for the first week of school.
Certain documents are required to register kindergartners and pre-schoolers.
Required for kindergarten registration are: a certified birth certificate, a full and complete record of the child’s immunization and the NC Health Assessment, two documents verifying address and, if applicable, verification of guardianship.
One of the following serves as an address verification document: current power, gas or water bill; place of residence listed by the Department of Social Services for home visitation and receipt of benefits (excluding Medicaid); or a current lease or mortgage statement.
Required for pre-school registration are: a birth certificate; verification of household incomes, such as the most recent pay stubs; verification of benefits received the previous year through TANF, child support, Social Security, unemployment or other household income; and verification of guardianship, if applicable.
