When do I register?

Registration for our Kindergarten program begins in January. There will be 2 registration dates set up in advance. If you move into River Edge after these dates and are interested in registering your child for kindergarten, you are welcome to come to the New Bridge Center Office between 9 and 10am, Monday through Friday. It is ALWAYS best to call before you come to make sure someone will be available to help you.

Registration for our Pre K program - **from 1/30/12 - 3/9/12**

Registration for grades 1-6 occurs from September through June. Please register your child as soon as you know you will be moving into River Edge and you have all of the required documents. The schools are open during July and August to register your child for September. It is ALWAYS best to call before you come to make sure someone will be available to help you.


Transferring from another school?

The registration process for a new student transferring from another school requires at least 20 minutes of uninterrupted time. No appointment is necessary, however, it is always best to call first.
