Kindergarten and New Student Registration

Welcome to Kent Gardens Elementary School!

We're excited to welcome our newest Lions! 

To join us, first determine if your student lives in the Kent Gardens Elementary School boundary by viewing the FCPS boundary locator(link is external). If your student does live in our boundary, please fill out the new student intake form below.  This is not the registration. Your form will be submitted to Annie Joseph, our school's Student Information Assistant, who will be able to assist you with the registration process.

Completing the Process at the School

When you are ready to come to the school to complete your registration paperwork, please contact Annie Joseph, our Student Information Assistant, by email at AJoseph@fcps.edu(link sends email) or by phone at 703-394-5600 to set up an appointment. You will be informed of all other documents that you'll need to present at your visit. These include:

  • Original birth certificate: If a birth certificate is not available, the FCPS affidavit with substantiating documentation is required.     
    • Affidavit forms may be obtained at the school.  
  • Proof of residency: A current mortgage statement, a current, fully-executed lease (signed by both the landlord/management company and tenant), or deed/closing documents to the home is required. If you are sharing a residence, you must complete and have notarized two FCPS residency affidavit forms and provide the necessary documentation at registration.
    • Affidavit forms may be obtained at the school.  
  • Parent Photo ID: Only a parent who is named on the child's birth certificate is eligible to enroll the student. The parent will be required to present government-issued photo identification.

Please submit this new student intake form in English.  Scroll down to find required paperwork and forms needed to complete registration.

Please enter the street address that the student will be residing at within our community.
Please enter the day, month, and year the student was born. For example - January 12, 2002
A student who is being registered for kindergarten must be at least five years old by September 30 of the year they will be starting kindergarten.
Please list the student’s last school attended. Please also include the city and state of the previous school. For rising kindergarteners, please include the preschool attended (if the student attended preschool).
If applicable, please share any additional information that you would like our school Student Information Assistant to know.
Note: Submitting this form does not register the student. Submitting this form begins the new student registration process with the school. Our school Student Information Assistant will contact you with the next steps to get your new student enrolled quickly and efficiently.
If you have a rising kindergartner and plan on attending school with us next year, you will immediately be given a link to additional intention questions when this form is submitted.
