Now is the time to register your child(ren) for kindergarten in the Rye City School District! Please review the Registration Policy/Process document and complete the required Registration Form, both of which are available on the homepage of the District’s website, www.ryeschools.org. You can submit the form in person by visiting Central Administration at 411 Theodore Fremd, Suite 100S, Rye, NY 10580 between the hours of 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., or mail it to the attention of Mrs. Janet Gray at the above address.
