SPENCER, MA - February 6, 2023 - The Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School District is now accepting Kindergarten applications for the 2023-2024 school year for children who will reach the age of five (5) years old by August 31, 2023. Letters will be mailed out this week to all families that listed their eligible child(ren) on the 2022 town census and emails will be sent to all resident families that have a child currently enrolled in our Cubs’ Corner Preschool program that will be of age by the cut-off date.
Kindergarten is offered at both Wire Village School in Spencer and East Brookfield Elementary School in East Brookfield. Students are enrolled at the school in their town of residence, in accordance with District policy. School hours are 8:25 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., Monday through Friday. There is no registration deadline.
All student registrations are done online. If you would like to register your child to attend, please complete the Pre-Registration Form to begin the registration process. When completing the form, select the 2023-2024 school year. Once your form has been submitted and approved, you will receive an email with further instructions on creating your online parent portal account where you will complete all of the required enrollment forms and upload required documentation. Families must provide a birth certificate (original or copy, with a seal), most recent physical/immunization records (dated within one year of school start date), and two forms of proof of residency from the accepted documents lists on the address form. If you have difficulties uploading your supporting documentation, please email them directly to the District Registrar (contact info below), along with your child’s name so that they can be uploaded into the portal.
Medical forms must be completed by a physician and must detail that your child has been given the following immunizations (including the dates the immunizations were given):

The office is open for appointments Monday through Thursday, between the hours of 8:00 am and 3:00 pm.
