What you need before you start

Please have the following digital documents ready to help registration run smoothly:

1)Proof of Residency: Provide a copy of a recent utility bill, such as oil, cable, landline, water, sewer bill showing a physical service provided to your address in your name.  Students must be a resident of Pembroke to register at PHS.

2)Copy of Birth Certificate: Clear photograph or PDF are acceptable. In order to register for Kindergarten, a student must be 5 BEFORE 10/1/23. If you did not attend PHS for kindergarten your student must be 6 before 10/1/23 to enter first grade.

3)*Most recent copy of Physical and Immunization Record-* A pdf copy of the full record is preferred as they are usually multiple pages and Alma Start only allows you to upload one document each.  There is NO religious exemption for Physicals as they are required by the State and must occur within one year of planned entry into school.

Email the PHS office if you have any questions: office-phs@sau53.org
