Mary L. Tracy School, home to all public school kindergarten students in Orange, is now open for kindergarten registration.
If you are a resident of Orange and your child is turning 5 on or before Sept. 1, it is time to register for kindergarten. Register by Feb. 27 at the district’s website, oess.org, to begin the initial contact form for registration.
If your child will be 5 years old between Sept. 2 and Jan. 1, 2027, and would like to be considered for kindergarten registration, you may provide a written request for a waiver to the school’s principal, Elaine Watson at ewatson@orange-ed.org.
Once a request is received you will be sent confirmation of your request. An appointment will then be scheduled for your child to be screened for early entry. The screenings will be done in late January/early February. After the assessment has been conducted you will be notified if your child is able to attend kindergarten.
