The playground social will be hosted by School Committee Chair Katherine Weiss at the Gibbons School an Dawe School playgrounds. There will be a read aloud of If I Built a School by Chris Van Dusen. Children will be able to use paper and crayons so they can design their own school, and parents/guardians (and children) can ask any questions they may have about the project.

Registration for Next School Year
Attention families looking to register for next school year:
The pre-registration portal for preschool, kindergarten, and grades 1-12 for the 2025-2026 school year is open. More information and the link to the pre-registration forms can be found by clicking here.
Please keep in mind:
Preschool students must be 3 or 4 years of age by August 31, 2025 and be toilet trained. Pre-registration does not guarantee a spot in the preschool program as there are limited spots available.
For kindergarten, children must be 5 years old by August 31, 2025. Any student currently attending the Jones Early Childhood Center for preschool that will be entering kindergarten in the fall must still register for kindergarten.
Students only need to register for grades 1-12 if they do not currently attend the Stoughton Public Schools.
