Annual Registration Effort for New or Re-entering Students Runs August 28 - September 14
The New York City Department of Education today opened 10 Student Registration Centers to enroll new students for the start of school. All new high school students or those re-entering the system after an absence—both general education and students with disabilities—should register at a Student Registration Center in their borough of residence. New or re-entering general education elementary and middle school students without a zoned school should also register at a Student Registration Center in their borough of residence. New elementary and middle school students who have zoned schools should register at their zoned schools starting Thursday, September 6. Parents can find their children’s zoned schools, the nearest Student Registration Centers, or Committee on Special Education locations by calling 311 or visiting the Department’s Web site at nyc.gov/schools.
Enrollment staff at Student Registration Centers will meet with students and their parents to facilitate registration. Interpretation services will be available at each center. All forms and parent materials will be available in English and translated into nine languages (Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu).
The Student Registration Centers will be open from Tuesday, August 28, through Friday, September 14, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The centers will be closed on Monday, September 3, for Labor Day.
