Student Registration
Welcome to the Fairport Central School District. We look forward to your participation and involvement in our schools and in the community. In choosing Fairport schools, you will be part of a District that is committed to high standards and continuous improvement. Commitment and quality are evident in the focus on students developing their potential. May your children have a wonderful and enriching school experience in Fairport.
Registration Procedures for New Students
New families to the Fairport Central School District will enroll their children in our schools through a centralized registration process. To help you start the registration process, there are several forms that you may print and fill out before you meet with District Registrar Traci Hall (the registration packet is available on this page, below as a PDF file).
After completing the forms, bring them with you when you come for your appointment with Ms. Hall at 10 Baumer Place, Fairport, NY 14450. If you have any questions as you fill out the forms, contact Ms. Hall via phone at (585) 421-2009 or via email at traci.hall@fairport.org.
In addition to completing the paper registration forms, families also have the additional option of entering information about their student in the District census database before their appointment. 
In addition to providing school records, those registering new students need the following:
- To furnish proof of residency (mortgage statement, utility bill or a signed lease)
- A birth certificate for each child
- Current immunization and health records
Students are assigned to a school based upon the location of the family residence. After all paperwork is processed, appointment will be made for class placements and student schedules. After the assignment has been made, the family has an opportunity to visit the school.
Kindergarten Registration
Registration for children who will be entering kindergarten in September 2023 will take place in February through March 2023. A child is eligible to attend kindergarten in September 2023 if the child’s fifth birthday falls on or before Dec. 1, 2023. In January 2023, registration materials for all entering kindergarten students will be mailed to families on the school census. If you do not receive an information packet before February, contact the Registrar’s Office at (585) 421-2009.

The lottery for the Fairport Central School District’s 2023-2024 Universal Pre-Kindergarten program has closed as of May 10, 2023.
Selection Process
Students will be selected to participate in the UPK program through a lottery system. Based on New York State allocations, Fairport has 90 total spots available. Students who apply to our UPK program will be chosen based on an equitable lottery system. Families with multiple children eligible to attend will have each child entered as an individual student.
Families will be notified by May 19, 2023 if their child has been selected through the lottery to attend UPK during the 2023-2024 school year. Families will be responsible for confirming their acceptance into the UPK program. Additional registration paperwork will be required at that time.
All children not selected through the lottery will be placed on a waitlist and notified if/when a slot becomes available over the course of the year.
If you have questions about the Fairport UPK program for the 2023-24 school year, please contact Dr. Tanya Wilson-Thevanesan, Deputy Superintendent for School Improvement and Community Engagement at (585)421-2016 or twilsonthevanesan@fairport.org.
Homeschool
Parents retain the right to choose to homeschool their child(ren). Families wishing to homeschool their children are required by New York State Education Department to adhere to the NYS Part 100.10 Regulations. Families are to follow these Commissioner’s Regulations for grades 1-12, and kindergarten subject areas are at the parent/guardian’s discretion. Families are required to submit a yearly plan after receiving acknowledgement of their Letter of Intent to homeschool. Families are also required to submit quarterly progress reports documenting the student’s progress over the quarter. If a child returns to the District after homeschooling, it is up to the principal’s discretion what, if any, credit will be granted for coursework completed in homeschooling. Students who are homeschooled do not receive a diploma. A Letter of Completion would be awarded if all NYS Part 100.10 requirements are met.
Superintendent Provenzano is transitioning oversight of homeschooling to the Deputy Superintendent‘s office beginning the 2022-23 school year. Therefore, if you will be homeschooling next year, please address your 2022-23 letter of intent and Individualized Home Instruction Plans (IHIPs) to the Deputy Superintendent for School Improvement & Community Engagement, Dr. Tanya Wilson-Thevanesan.
