Will my child start the same day I complete the enrollment process?
Upon completion of the enrollment process, your child will typically begin 1-2 days later. This timeframe allows our staff to gather necessary school records, for administration to review those records, and for communication with teachers and staff to ensure a smooth transition.
What if I don’t have a Social Security card for my child?
While a district may require a Social Security number, it cannot require a student’s Social Security card be present. If a child does not have a Social Secuity number the school will assign a state-approved identification number.
Do I need anything from the previous school?
Yes, if parents can provide the school district with a withdrawal form, and copy of the last report card – this will help speed up the enrollment process. If parents do not have this information, the campus secretary can request it but it will can slow down the enrollment process.
What if I can’t produce a certified copy of the birth cerfificate?
Parents must produce other acceptable proof of the child’s identity and age.
