New Student Registration
Welcome to Orange Public Schools and Mary L. Tracy School!
Mary L. Tracy School is home to all kindergarten students in the Town of Orange. In addition, the Preschool program is an inclusive program in which peers are selected through a lottery system. You will find the necessary registration information below.
NOTE: The registration process for Preschool and Kindergarten varies slightly from the three elementary schools.
If your child is currently enrolled in Mary L Tracy as a Preschool student, please do NOT register your child for Kindergarten. Your child will automatically be registered for Kindergarten during the roll up process that takes place over the summer break. Please contact the Mary L Tracy office at 203-891-8028 with any questions.
1. If you have a child who will be eligible (5 years old on or before January 1 of any school year) to enter Kindergarten next fall, information regarding New Kindergarten Registration will be available on the district's website in January for the 2022-2023 school year. PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION FORMS BELOW AT THIS TIME.
2. If you have recently moved to town and your child is entering during a school year already in progress, you may begin the process now. Afterwards, an email will be provided containing a Parent Portal Letter with directions for how to complete your Online Registration. Once your Online Registration has been completed and submitted, the school will contact you to finalize your student's registration. Please note, your child(ren) will not be able to start school unless ALL required documents are submitted.
