On Thursday, June 5th, North Adams Public Schools will host in-person PreK and Kindergarten screenings and registration, in preparation for enrollment in the 2025-2026 school year. This make-up day is open to families seeking to enroll children in either PreK or Kindergarten and were unable to attend the earlier March PreK/Kindergarten screening dates.
All screenings will be held at Brayton Elementary School, located at 20 Brayton Hill Terrace, between 9 AM and 2 PM by appointment only. No walk-in appointments can be accommodated. To schedule an appointment, please call Carrie Silva at the North Adams Public Schools Central Office at (413) 776-1673.
To apply to enroll in PreK, children residing in the City of North Adams must be 3 or 4 years of age by August 31, 2025. Children enrolling in Kindergarten must be 5 years of age by August 31, 2025. PreK students currently enrolled in North Adams Public Schools do not need to register for Kindergarten.
New this year is a pre-registration system that parents/guardians can use to complete paperwork and upload required documents before the date of their scheduled appointment. After scheduling an appointment, a link to the pre-registration process will be sent directly to families. Those who do not upload documents through pre-registration must bring the required documents to their appointment.
PreK students currently enrolled in North Adams Public Schools do not need to apply again. Current Kindergarten students enrolled in North Adams Public Schools do not need to re-enroll.
Additional Information:
