After March 18th, parents will need to register their child(ren) at the elementary building within their residential area.  If you do not know which building to go to for registration, a complete street directory and assigned catchment areas can be accessed on Northmont's public web pages at www.northmontschools.com or you can call Northmont Central Office at 832-5000.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to lack of building space, any child enrolling in kindergarten who lives in the Englewood Hills catchment area will be attending Englewood Elementary during their kindergarten year.

If the parent wants their child to attend a different elementary than the school in their area of residence,
they will be asked to complete an intra-district request at the time of registration on March 17th or 18th or later at the residential elementary building.
