GOODRICH KINDERGARTEN AND YOUNG 5'S PROGRAM

ONLINE REGISTRATION SCHEDULE - Beginning March 9,  2026

Welcome to Goodrich Area Schools and a special welcome to Reid Elementary. We are looking forward to meeting you and your child. The educational focus at Reid Elementary is child-centered for grades Young 5's through First. It is our plan to provide your child with a rich, educational experience in a nurturing environment.

Kindergarten students must be five years old by September 1, 2026. If you feel your child is ready for school, but they turn five between September 2, 2026 and December 1, 2026, they may still be eligible for our Young 5's program. Please see the document "Kindergarten Age Waiver Request Form" located at the bottom of this web page for additional information.

Who Should Attend Young 5's?
It is Goodrich's practice that if your child turns five years old between September 2, 2026 and December 1, 2026 they may be placed in Young 5's to develop:

• Confidence
• Social Skills
• Oral language development
• Motor Skills
• Attention Span
• School Readiness     

Goodrich Area Schools uses an on-line registration (OLR) process which opens March 9, 2026. To enroll your student you must complete the 2026-2027 on-line registration process for a new student - see link located at the bottom of this page.
