Kindergarten and New Student Registration

Welcome to Waples Mill Elementary School!

We're excited to welcome our newest Eagles! 

We are a school in Fairfax County, Virginia. To join us, first determine if your student lives in the Waples Mill Elementary School boundary by viewing the FCPS boundary locator. If your student does live in our boundary, please fill out the new student registration intake form below. Your form will be submitted to Tricia Kaffka, our school's Student Information Assistant, who will be able to assist you with the registration process.

Please submit this new student registration intake form in English.

Student Home Street Address
Please enter the day, month, and year the student was born. For example - January 12, 2002
A student who is being registered for kindergarten must be at least five years old by September 30 of the year they will be starting kindergarten.
Please list the student’s last school attended. Please also include the city and state of the previous school. For rising kindergarteners, please include the preschool attended (if the student attended preschool).
If applicable, please share any additional information that you would like our school Student Information Assistant to know.
Note: Submitting this form does not register the student. Submitting this form begins the new student registration process with the school. Our school Student Information Assistant will contact you with the next steps to get your new student enrolled quickly and efficiently.

    • Affidavit forms may be obtained at the school.  
  • Proof of residency: A current mortgage statement, a current, fully-executed lease (signed by both the landlord/management company and tenant), or deed/closing documents to the home is required. If you are sharing a residence, you must complete and have notarized two FCPS residency affidavit forms and provide the necessary documentation at registration.
    • Affidavit forms may be obtained at the school.  
  • Parent Photo ID: Only a parent who is named on the child's birth certificate is eligible to enroll the student. The parent will be required to present government-issued photo identification.
