Registration for the Kindergarten Readiness Test for the 2025/2026 school year will open on November 12th at 7:30 am. 

If you plan to register for CogAT (Gifted) testing, please register for that test first. You can find the registration link on the Gifted page.  If your child does not test gifted, then your next step is to  register for the Kindergarten Readiness Test.
