Existing families kindergarten registration

Step 1

If your household has a current student attending a Red Hook Central School District school, you begin the process of registering a new student for kindergarten by following this link to sign in to your Parent Portal account.

Click on the blue "Register New Student" box on the right and add the student to your existing account. 

Step 2

You will receive an email from Operoo alerting you there are new forms that need to be completed. Use your existing username and password at operoo.com.

Step 3

Upload necessary student and household documents to Operoo to complete registration.

Hard copies of registration packets are available upon request if you cannot access a computer. Call Carla Merino at 845-758-2241 ext. 45090.

Step 4

After all documents are uploaded you will receive a call to set up an in-person screening appointment at Mill Road Elementary School. The screenings will be scheduled during April 2 and 3, 2025.

What to expect at the screening?

First and foremost, the screening is an opportunity for Mill Road staff to provide a warm welcome to incoming students and their families. The entire process will take between an hour to 90 minutes, at the end of which families should leave without any questions regarding how their student's kindergarten experience will begin.

Students will meet with a teacher, speech language therapist and an occupational or physical therapy provider. Students will be checked for basic kindergarten readiness in the following areas:

• Self-care
• Language
• Cognitive skills
• Fine and gross motor skills

Students will also meet our school nurse, who will conduct a hearing and vision screening.

Meanwhile, parents and guardians will meet with school administrators and our administration team to review important information. It's also an opportunity for parents to ask any questions they may have.
