Kindergarten registration
and first-time enrollment at any age

If your child will be 5 years old on or before September 30, 2025, you can enroll them in kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year.

• To enroll in your neighborhood school (school your child is assigned to based on your home address), you can register your child beginning in February 2024. To identify your neighborhood school, visit discoverpps.org.

• To enroll in a magnet school or magnet program within a school, see “PPS magnet schools and programs” for more information. The magnet application does not replace kindergarten registration—you must complete both.

• Register your child for kindergarten. Visit pghschools.org/about/enrollment/home for an outline of the process, which involves either downloading and completing documents, and mailing, emailing, or faxing them to the district; or uploading documents along with an online application. If your child is already enrolled in a PPS pre-k program, the process is slightly different.

For first-time enrollment in PPS for grades 1-12, visit pghschools.org/about/enrollment/home. To identify your neighborhood school, visit discoverpps.org. You can enroll online by sending a request to studentinfo@pghschools.org or call the district’s parent hotline at 412-529-4357. Students must be enrolled to apply for a magnet program.
