You must submit an original birth certificate with a raised seal for any child you are registering. To be eligible for kindergarten, your child must reach the age of 5 by October 1st at the start of each school year.

NO EXCEPTIONS

You must provide specific documents to establish residency or you will not be able to register your child. Here are three situations that make a family eligible to send children to Toms River Regional Schools:

• If you and your child are residents of Toms River, Beachwood, Pine Beach, or South Toms River (i.e. you own, lease, or rent a home or apartment), bring copies of the four (4) documents for verification of residency detailed in the Application for Registration- Proof of Residency Checklist.
• If you are currently legally residing/domiciled with your child in the home of a resident in our districts, the resident (homeowner/lessee) must provide the four (4) documents for verification of residency detailed in the Application for Registration- Proof of Residency Checklist AND the legal parent/guardian must provide two (2) documents for verification of residency as detailed in the Application for Registration- Admission of Domiciled Student Checklist, with both parties signing before a notary.
• If you, the parent, are not a resident of nor domiciled in Toms River, Beachwood, Pine Beach, or South Toms River (read two descriptions above), but a Toms River Schools zoned resident is the proposed guardian of your child, the resident/guardian (homeowner) must contact the Central Registration office at 732-505-2600 to determine eligibility to attend the district. An interview will need to be scheduled with both the proposed guardian and the parent.
• There are also special situations related to child protective services, court orders, and the military. Please call our staff at Central Registration so that they may assist you.

Be advised that in addition to the Department of Education Regulations N.J.A.C. 6A:22 prohibiting such conduct, New Jersey State Law, specifically N.J.S.A. 18A:38-1(c), provides that any person who fraudulently allows a child or another person to use his/her residence for school admission purposes is guilty of a Disorderly Persons Offense punishable under the New Jersey Criminal Code.  

UNIVERSAL CHILD HEALTH RECORD

State statute 18A:40-4 requires that all students have a physical examination by a physician. Your physician will complete this form upon the conclusion of your child's physical. You may still register if your child has not yet had a physical, but the completed physical examination report must be signed by the physician and submitted to the school prior to starting school.  

HEALTH OFFICE NEW ENTRANT QUESTIONNAIRE

This form is to be completed by the parent for all new students entering Toms River Regional Schools, including issues like health concerns, disabilities and insurance.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

Provides a listing of the vaccinations your child requires prior to starting school.

IMMUNIZATION RECORDS

Your child's immunization records showing the dates of Primary Series and booster doses. N.J.S.S.C. Chapter 14 requires that immunizations be complete and up-to-date or the student may be excluded from school. For details, see https://www.nj.gov/health/cd/documents/k12-parents.pdf 

This form is needed to request educational, health, and any special services records from the last school the student attended.
