Remote Registration Process

Please be advised that this remote/online registration process is applicable only for the current “At-Home/Distance Learning Program”. During this remote/online registration process timeframe, the District is waiving the requisite documentation needed for new students to be enrolled in the Clifton Public Schools. However, please note that when the District reopens, students will not be eligible to attend school until all of the necessary documentation is received. As such, at that time, when schools reopen, you will need to provide all other required documentation.

 Clifton Public Schools is now accepting remote/online registrations for:

• 2019-2020 “At-Home/Distance Learning Program”
• 2020-2021 Kindergarten Registration for Clifton Residents who will attain the age of five (5) by October 1st, 2020
• 2020-2021 Registration for the State Funded Pre-School program. This is for Income Eligible Clifton Residents who attain the age of four (4) by October 1st, 2020. Limited “over-income” seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by completion of the online registration process.

Registration for all other grade levels will open on July 1st, 2020.
