The annual kindergarten registration event for the 2012-13 academic school year will be conducted only in one place this year.
A registration event covering all schools in town will be held at the World War I Memorial Auditorium, the auditorium for Doherty Middle School that faces the Park on Bartlet Street. The event will be Monday, Feb. 6 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Previously, registration was done at Andover's five elementary schools and Shawsheen School, a choice prekindergarten through grade 2 school, according to Dee Delorenzo, administrative assistant to the assistant superintendent of schools.
Events for all of the schools will be held at one location this year to guarantee consistency in the information being made available, said Delorenzo.
Parents wishing to register their children before or after the Feb. 6 event may do so by downloading the registration packet at the Andover Public Schools website, aps1.net, or visiting any of the town's elementary schools.
Packets and deposits for all-day kindergarten are due by March 2.
