ALEXANDRIA, VA – Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) is continuing kindergarten registration for the 2026-27 school year for all ACPS elementary schools. The registration process officially opened on April 15, 2026, and families are encouraged to complete registration early to help ensure schools are fully staffed and prepared to support students in the upcoming academic year.
Families can visit the ACPS new student registration webpage to confirm that their child meets the age requirements and review the documents needed to complete registration.
Parents and guardians are also encouraged to use the attendance zone locator tool to determine which school their child will attend. ACPS notes that new attendance boundaries will take effect for the upcoming school year, making it important for families to verify their assigned school before registering.
