Homeless students are eligible to enroll in school even if unable to provide proof of residency or certain education and immunization records.
Homeless students include students who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and include a child or youth:
· Who is sharing the housings of other persons due to loss of housing or economic hardship or a similar reason; is living in a motel, hotel, trailer park, or camping ground due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodation; is living in an emergency or transitional shelter; is abandoned in a hospital; or is awaiting foster care placement,
· Who is living in a car, park, or public space or in an abandoned building, substandard housing, bus or train station or similar setting;
· Who has a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designated for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings; or
· Who is a migratory child who qualifies as homeless because the child is living in circumstances as described above.
If you believe that you or your child is homeless, please inform the person registering you at school or the Homeless Child and Youth Liaison.
