Welcome to all our new North Middlesex families and students!  We are happy to have your soon-to-be kindergarteners joining our district. 

Children residing in Ashby, Pepperell, or Townsend who will be 5 years old as of August 31st, 2024, are eligible to attend kindergarten in the fall.  Ashby students will attend Ashby Elementary School, Pepperell students will attend Varnum Brook Elementary School, and Townsend students will attend Spaulding Memorial School.  Registration for all three towns is online with directions at www.nmrsd.org/registration.  

Prekindergarten students at the Squannacook Early Childhood Center who will be entering Kindergarten, are already registered in the district so a new registration is not needed.   Simply inform the Squannacook Early Childhood Secretary of your intention for your student to move to Kindergarten and attend the Parent Information Nights at the applicable school.  A student information update should also be completed before September.
