Registration, Student Records & Transcripts, and Work Permits

Children must be six years old by August 31st of the school year in order to enter first grade in Bedford with provision for those who entered under the exceptions above. The option for early entrance to grade one does not apply to Bedford residents who have chosen to send their underage children to a private or public kindergarten program. These children must be six years old by August 31st in order to enter first grade, without exception.

 

Children who have completed a full year of kindergarten at an independent or public school (not daycare) in another town or state and then move to Bedford are eligible for the Bedford first grade program.

 

A child who moves to Bedford during the school year from an accredited independent or public school first grade class will be enrolled in a first grade class in Bedford.

 

The final decision regarding early entrance will be made by the Davis School Early Entrance Team, comprised of the Principal, kindergarten teacher and Early Childhood coordinator.

 

The Bedford Public School reserves the right to review the placement of any underage child after 30 school days and to change the grade level placement if deemed appropriate by the professional staff, in consultation with the students parents.

When you register your son/daughter with Bedford Public Schools you will complete the Home Language Survey. If you indicate that, at home, you speak a language other than English, you are entitled to have school documents translated where practicable into your primary/home language. You are also entitled to have oral interpretation services at meetings and of documents, if needed. Please use the form below to request these services. If you need assistance with this form, please contact Carrie Powers, ELL Director K-12, at (781) 275-7606 ext. 4862.
