New student registrations (and transfers) will continue virtually via email between school sites and parents/guardians until face-to-face registration appointments are an option. Beginning June 21, this will also include New Kindergarten Registrations as the Pre-Enrollment process will end. The Welcome Center will continue to support as needed, but schools should be the first line for registration support for new registrations. Once face-to-face registration appointments are able to be conducted, that information will be communicated.
There are five (5) documents for parents to review and/or complete when registering their child for school. Each of the documents has been translated to English, Spanish (Español), Haitian Creole (Kreyòl), Portuguese (Pais), Chinese (中文), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Arabic (عربى) and French (Français).
