Nyc Department of Education Opens Student Registration Centers Across the City

Annual Registration Effort for New or Re-entering Students Runs August 28 - September 18

The New York City Department of Education has opened nine Student Registration Centers across the five boroughs to enroll new students for the start of school. All new high school students, including those with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), must register at a Student Registration Center in their borough of residence.

New elementary and middle school students who have zoned schools, including those with an IEP, should register at their zoned schools starting Monday, September 9. Parents can find their zoned schools or the nearest Student Registration Centers by calling 311 or visiting the Department’s website at www.nyc.gov/schools. Students who live in a neighborhood without zoned schools should visit a Student Registration Center in their borough of residence.

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 Wednesday, August 28, through Wednesday, September 18, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The centers will be closed on Monday, September 2, Thursday, September 5, and Friday, September 6 for school holidays.

Parents must bring their children with them to register. The following documents are required:

>Child’s birth certificate or passport;

>Child’s immunization records;

>Child's latest report card/transcript (if available);

>Child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and/or 504 Accommodation Plan (if applicable and available).
