Student Registration
Kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 school year will be open on February 9, 2026. Students must be five years old on or before October 1, 2026 in order to enroll in kindergarten. If you are currently enrolled in the Lawrence Township Public Preschool Program (Cardinal Kids) for the 25-26 school year, no additional registration is needed and all age eligible students will automatically be transferred to kindergarten at the end of the school year. Please note that any new registrations received after Aug 3 are subject to busing delays (if applicable) at the start of school and have a higher likelihood of being diverted from your home school. Proof of residency is required for all new enrollments. Any questions or concerns please email registration@ltps.org or call (609) 671-5453.
