School registration 2026/27: How to secure your place at Klosterberg!

Things will soon get serious again in Demitz-Thumitz: school registration for the 2026/27 school year is just around the corner. On Tuesday, September 9th, 2025, parents have the opportunity to register their children at the Klosterberg elementary school. Registration times are from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and again from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., which should provide plenty of opportunity to introduce the young school starters in person.

All children who turn six by June 30, 2026 are required to attend school this year. These children must register immediately. But parents whose children were born before this deadline, precisely by September 30, 2020, also have the opportunity to register. Parents who are considering a different type of school are also encouraged to register their children in order to have planning security in good time. This is reported by Demitz-Thumitz.

Necessary documents and framework conditions

When the time comes, parents should have some documents to hand: a birth certificate, a completed student admission form and a declaration of consent are required. The student admission form will be sent to parents by post in good time so that they are prepared. By the way, in addition to starting school, there is also the option of registering the children for after-school care on the same day - a great option that many parents will take advantage of.

It is also important that parents who are unable to attend on the registration day can make an appointment by telephone. You can contact the school on 03594 713030. Registration is well organized and leaves little room for stress.

School entrance examination and further information

Before school enrollment actually begins, a few steps are necessary. A school entrance examination by the pediatrician from the public health service is mandatory. The exact dates for this examination will be communicated to parents when registering for school and it is necessary that at least one parent is present. This ensures that young school children have the necessary level of development to start school. In individual cases, children can also start school early at the request of their parents if they meet the relevant requirements. However, parents must submit an application for this, which can also be clarified when registering, as the Saxon Education Server explains.

If there are uncertainties in the assessment of the children or developmental delays are identified, suitable support measures will be discussed in collaboration with the parents and kindergarten staff. If it is necessary to defer school attendance, this usually only happens if there is no evidence of special educational needs.

At the start of the school year, parents will receive an acceptance letter, and the ceremonial school admission will take place on the Saturday before the start of the new school year, which will certainly be an exciting moment for everyone involved.

For parents who are looking for a place in an after-school care center, there is also a certificate of need from the youth welfare office if additional support and care is required. In order to ensure smooth integration into the offer, the relevant contracts should be concluded in good time, be it with the youth welfare office or another independent youth welfare provider, such as Berlin Senate Administration explained.

With all this information in hand, parents are well prepared to give their children a successful start to school. Let’s get to it!
