If your child will be six years of age by January 31, 2010, your child is eligible to attend 1st Grade at the Upper Moreland Primary School in September for the 2009-2010 school year. It is strongly recommended that your child has completed an accredited kindergarten program before starting Grade 1 at the Primary School. Please bring a copy of your child’s most recent kindergarten report card.

If you are registering a 2nd grade student for the 2009-2010 school year, please bring a copy of your child’s most recent first grade report card.

Please Note: Students in our current Kindergarten Program and our First Grade Program are automatically registered for 1st Grade or 2nd Grade accordingly.

Please call 215-830-1515 to schedule an appointment to register your child in the district.

It is not necessary for you to bring your child to registration. Please enter at the Primary School main entrance. The outline below is intended to help you prepare for registration:

2. Please forward the immunization card (H-502.320) to your doctor immediately so that it will be returned to you before registration. Please make sure your physician fills in the required immunizations, including the month, day, and year of each immunization. *Please speak to the school nurse if vaccinations cannot be completed by the first day of the 2009-2010 school year.
