How To Enroll Your Child in School
Determine the student's eligibility
Children age 5 by September 1 and not age 21 on the first day of school are eligible for enrollment.
If the child is not a U.S. citizen and has not attended a U.S. school continuously for the past two years, or is a U.S. citizen who has been attending a non-U.S. school overseas, contact the International Student Admissions office at 301-230-0686.
If the child does not live with a parent, legal guardian, or certified relative, contact the Enrollment and Attendance Compliance office at 301-315-7324
Identify and contact the school
You should register at the child's local school. To determine what the local school is for a specific address, call the School Boundary Information Line at 240-314-4710 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays.
Parents registering their children for the first time in a Montgomery County public school must provide proof of age, identity, county residency and immunizations, unless homeless. Required immunizations must be completed within 20 days of registration.
Students who have previously attended school should bring their latest report card, if available. Students receiving special education services should bring a copy of the current Individualized Education Program (IEP).
