2025-2026 Online Enrollment for Kindergarten and new students in 1st-5th grades opens March 24, 2025 at 9:00 am!
Please encourage your friends and neighbors with kindergarten children, as well as families with children new to Rivers Edge, to register early. The number of teachers assigned to Rivers Edge is based on student enrollment.
Start the online process on March 24, so you can complete the process on April 10. Rivers Edge is excited to learn how many kindergarten students are coming to school next year!
Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by Sept. 30 of the school year in which they will begin.
Step 1: The registration process begins online. On March 24, visit https://www.henricoschools.us/o/hcps/page/registration-enrollment to begin the registration process.
Complete all three enrollment documents available in the portal.
· Enrollment Form-Part 1
· Home Language Survey
· McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act screening form
Step 2: All successfully submitted enrollments will be reviewed for completeness. Once reviewed, our school’s registrar, Charlene Fleming, will contact you regarding the next steps, which will include scheduling an appointment to meet with the registrar on Thursday, April 10, to present additional documents and complete the enrollment process.
What additional documents will I need to complete the registration process?
· An original official state-issued birth certificate for your child must be presented in person to the registrar during your in-person meeting.
· A current, signed lease agreement (must include name of lease holder, landlord, property address, time period of lease, list of occupants, signatures and date) or a deed or purchase agreement, mortgage statement or a current tax assessment in your name (or in the name of the homeowner/lease holder if you are living “doubled up”).
· A photo I.D. for the child’s parent or legal guardian (driver’s license, DMV I.D., military I.D. or other picture I.D.) must be presented in person to the registrar and match your child’s birth certificate.
· AND
· Additional proof of residency. You must provide:
· A current utility bill in your name (dated within the past 30 days).
· If you are living “doubled” with another person or family, the homeowner/primary renter and the parent/legal guardian must complete an address affidavit. If you are living “doubled” with another person or family, the homeowner or primary renter must accompany you to school to register the child. Certain verification and forms are also needed from the parent or legal guardian, as well as from the homeowner or primary renter.
· Physical exam form (completed and signed by licensed healthcare provider and dated after 8/18/2024)
Note: This is not required for registration but must be on file before child can attend school.
· Record of immunizations (signed by licensed healthcare provider and up-to-date) Immunization requirements are available at www.vdh.virginia.gov/immunization/requirements
Note: This is not required for registration but must be on file before child can attend school.
Other considerations for parents and guardians
· Only a natural parent, adoptive parent, court-appointed legal custodian or a person with a military power of attorney may enroll a child in Henrico Schools. (Nonmilitary or traditional powers of attorney are not acceptable.)
· A foster parent may enroll a child with the consent of the child’s legal custodian. Foster parents enrolling children in their care must present a copy of the court order at enrollment that identifies the child’s legal custodian.
