Kindergarten Registration

 

 

February 24th to March 14th, the Bristol Warren Regional School District (BWRSD) will be accepting kindergarten registrations for the 2025-26 school year.  All children must be 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2025 to be eligible to register for kindergarten. New student registrations are completed through the Aspen Online Parent Portal. Students currently enrolled in the BWRSD Pre-K program will use the Returning Registration option to update documents and provide the required immunizations. 

Registration Process

If you are new to the district, you will need to create an account by going to the Aspen login page and clicking “Request An Account”. Mobile devices cannot be used to create a new account. If you do not have access to a desktop, laptop, or Chromebook please make an appointment to use the kiosk in our registration office.  Also, please note that AOL email addresses are not compatible with the Aspen system.  Once you successfully create an account, you will receive an email message from aspen-sysadmin@myfollett.com and then be able to log in to the system. 

Once you have successfully logged in:

  1. Click on the +Initiate… button in the Task Menu 
  2. Select New Student Registration from the Workflow drop down menu (or Returning Student Registration for current Pre-K students)
  3. Follow the instructions from there to provide the essential information for registering your student. You are able to Save & Close at any time during the process. 
  4. Call or email to make an appointment to come in person Feb 24th to March 14th to the registration office on 235 High St. in Bristol to secure your child’s registration and kindergarten placement. Please provide the student’s name when booking an appointment. You will need to bring your photo ID. Students do not need to be present.

If you have an existing Aspen account, follow the steps above after logging in to update your Pre-K student or to add another student. If you need to reset you Aspen Parent Portal password, our tech department has provided those instructions. Click here to view the video, or here to read the directions.
