Kindergarten Registration 2012–2013

Kindergarten Registration Update

Due to lower than expected enrollment, Acton will offer 14 sections of kindergarten in September 2012 instead of 15. Gates school will have two kindergarten classrooms; the other four schools will have three. As a result, we will have room for very few new families to enter Gates. If families would like to change the order of priority they selected, they may do so before April 13, 2012 by emailing or calling Marlene Dow at mdow@mail.ab.mec.edu or 978 264-4700 x 3211.

Total Students: 275; Projected Class Size 19.6
The current enrollment is:

School Total Seats Available Total First Choice Total Priority New Family First Choice Seats Available for New Families Seats Available* All Day Requests
Conant 59 55 28 27 31 4 30
Douglas 59 64 42 22 17 -5 44
Gates 40 55 37 18 3 -15 26
McCarthy-Towne 58 42 28 14 30 16 30
Merriam 59 59 33 26 26 0 29

* Negative seats available means that the school will have a lottery and those number of students will not be able to attend.

Notes: Please be aware that these numbers will change before the lottery. Based on the new information about a reduced kindergarten section, we are allowing families to change their order of priority. The lottery will be held and parents will be notified of their placement by April 26, 2012.
