Play-Dates2026

Kindergarten Parent Orientation, August (TBD)

Parents may attend a presentation about the school program and logistics to ensure students have a successful start to the school year. Learn about riding the bus, ordering lunch, and school communications.

Kindergarten Transition Day 

August 24th -  We will be sending more information from Ashburton and MCPS about Transition Day. Students will be able to meet teachers and have a day to get oriented to Ashburton and Kindergarten. All new to Ashburton students will be invited to attend. School bus transportation is provided to students who will ride the bus in 2026-27. 

Online Registration is Active

Registration is for all children who will be 5 years-old on or before September 1, 2026. For more information about eligibility guidelines, registration, or required documents to complete an application, visit the Kindergarten Enrollment - Montgomery County Public Schools, Rockville, MD | Montgomery County Public Schools | Rockville, MD

Early Entrance to Kindergarten (EEK)

Children who will turn 5 between September 2 and October 15 may be eligible for an Early Entrance to Kindergarten process. Children who are born after October 16 will not be eligible this school year. Please contact the school if your child may be eligible for EEK testing; you cannot register online. 

Online Registration:

Go to your ParentVUE (if you have an account), create an online ParentVUE account, or obtain paperwork. You will want to create a ParentVUE account regardless of whether you will register online or by paper; ParentVUE is how you access all records and communication about your child. Make sure you pick the school year 2026-27. 

Paper forms:

 MCPS will send us registration packets that you can pick up in the school office. You can register by paper after March 16, 2026.

You will want to start to collect documents for enrollment. 

• Proof of residence (lease, property tax bill)
• Proof of birth (birth certificate, passport)
• ID for the parent enrolling the child
• Health records; immunization records (either a printout from the doctor or a form) are required in order to start school but do not have to be received at this time to be registered. The SR-6 form must be completed by a physician. 
• We will have kindergarten registration packets available at school soon. If you choose to get the forms online, you will need to fill out the following forms:
• 560-24, New Student Enrollment Form 560-24.pdf (montgomeryschoolsmd.org)
• 565-1 Student Emergency Form 565-1.pdf (montgomeryschoolsmd.org)
• 345-17 MD State Pre-Kindergarten Experience Form 345-17.pdf (montgomeryschoolsmd.org)

Please note as you fill out the registration form online or by paper: there are 3 questions about home language, and it is critical that the impact of the survey is understood. If a language other than English is indicated by 2 of the 3 questions, students will be assessed for English language support services. If they test into Emerging Multilingual Language services, it is mandated that this is continued until assessment releases them. 

Please contact marjorie_e_jacobs@mcpsmd.org or Yang-Yang_Lin@mcpsmd.org  with any questions about registration, Early Entrance to Kindergarten, or any other enrollment questions.
