The county public schools encourage parents who are enrolling their children in school for the first time or transferring them between schools to complete registration as soon as possible. The 2006-2007 school year begins Aug. 28.
Proof of age is required for all kindergarten and new first-grade students. The school system encourages parents who must register their children to contact their school's guidance department for assistance.
The following documents are required for enrollment: Maryland transfer form (required for a transfer from a public school in Maryland); residency documentation (lease, mortgage papers or tenant verification form); a second form of residency documentation (may include property tax bill, utility bill, current bank statement); evidence of birth; immunization record; and custody papers, if available.
