The Wakefield Public Schools offer tuition-free, full-day kindergarten to all our students. In accordance with School
Committee Policy, children must be five years of age before September 1, 2026, to enroll in kindergarten.

Kindergarten Registration for the 2026-2027 school year will take place from January 8 to January 29, 2026.
During this period, please complete the registration form online at
https://wakefield.powerschool.com/public/formbuilder/form.html?formid=1993

The school to which your child is assigned is guided by the Wakefield Public Schools Zone Lookup list and class size. You
can access this information on our website at
https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=954b14964b4e4b98a3b7083b2a1dae55

Criteria for school assignments will be based on this zoning list, students’ special education needs, equity of class sizes
across the district, and registration during the assigned registration period (January 8th-January 29th). In the zoning list,
some addresses are in the “buffer zone,” where two schools will be listed as options for that address. In these situations,
assignments to either school will be made based on the listed criteria above.
You will be notified via email of your child’s school once assignments are finalized. Once your school assignment is
confirmed, the secretary at that school will contact you regarding the process to submit the required documentation.

The documents that will be needed are:
Birth Certificate
Immunizations
Home Language Survey
Proof of Residency
Proof of Occupancy
Proof of Identification

A Virtual Kindergarten Information Meeting will be held via Zoom,on March 26, 2026 at 7:00 PM. A link for the meeting
will be sent out closer to the date.

Kindergarten screening will take place at your child’s assigned school in June 2026. Your school will contact you with
screening and orientation information later in the school year. This will also be discussed at the Virtual Kindergarten
Information Meeting. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the Superintendent’s Office
at [email protected].

We look forward to you and your child joining our school community!

Beacon Hill Roll Call
Volume 51 - Report No. 2
January 5 – January 9, 2026
Copyright © 2026 Beacon Hill Roll Call. All Rights Reserved.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE: There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports on the percentage of times local representatives voted with their party’s leadership in the 2025 session.

Beacon Hill Roll Call uses 113 votes from the 2025 House session as the basis for this report. This includes all roll calls that were not votes on local issues.

The votes of 132 Democrats were compared to the votes of Democratic Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy).

The votes of the 24 Republicans were compared to the votes of House Republican Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading).

On the 113 roll calls, Mariano and Jones voted the same way on 68 roll calls (60.2 percent) and voted the opposite way from each other on 45 roll calls (39.8 percent)

REPRESENTATIVES’ SUPPORT OF THEIR PARTY’S LEADERSHIP IN 2025 - The percentage next to the representative’s name represents the percentage of times the representative supported his or her party’s leadership in 2025. The number in parentheses represents the number of times the representative opposed his or her party’s leadership.

Some representatives voted on all 113 roll call votes. Others missed one or more roll calls. The percentage for each representative is calculated based on the number of roll calls on which he or she voted.

Rep. Kate Lipper-Garabedian - 100 percent (0)
Rep. Donald Wong - 99.0 percent (1)

WAKEFIELD PSA📣📣

National Grid Helicopter to Survey Electric Transmission System

Beginning January 12, National Grid will conduct a visual, helicopter-assisted survey of its entire transmission system along statewide rights-of-way. This initiative will include areas of Wakefield.

JBI, National Grid’s licensed vendor, will be flying a blue and yellow Bell 206 helicopter to perform this survey. All patrols will fly just above transmission-tower height and will operate at normal patrol speeds with hovering expected only if an issue is spotted. The full inspection is expected to last three to four weeks.
