Liverpool CSD Kindergarten Registration to Take Place in February

The Liverpool Central School District is preparing for kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 school year. All resident students born on or before December 1, 2021, are eligible to register for kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year.

It is important for families to know that all registration forms must be submitted and approved before a spot will be held for a student.

Information Packets

In mid- to late-January, kindergarten information packets will be mailed to families that the district knows have a child eligible to enter kindergarten. Please contact your home school to be placed on its mailing list.

If you don’t know which building would be your “home” school please download the “Street Code Book. Find your street to determine which K-2 elementary schools your child will attend in September 2026.

Four Liverpool CSD schools house students in kindergarten through second grade: Donlin Drive Elementary (DDE), Elmcrest Elementary (EE), Long Branch Elementary (LBE) and Willow Field Elementary (WFE).

If you have an eligible child, but do not receive an information packet by January 27, contact your home school (see phone numbers on this page) to request a packet.

Registration Dates

Registration will be conducted at the District Office Board Room (195 Blackberry Road) or online. If you are unable to attend a registration night, please contact the Registration Office (315-622-7193 or registration@liverpool.k12.ny.us) to schedule an appointment.
