Determine the educational needs of your child and identify what neighboring schools best fit those needs. Familiarizing yourself with school boundaries will allow you to determine which schools your child can potentially attend. Schools outside of your neighborhood boundary should still be considered as your child may be eligible to enroll.
Familiarize yourself with the application process and the factors that could determine whether your child is accepted. The best schools in a district receive more applications for enrollment than they have room to accommodate and, in turn, are very competitive. Schools that receive a large number of applications may use academic achievement, test scores, location or random lottery when deciding which children to accept.
Meet enrollment deadlines by submitting your child's application by the necessary deadline. To enroll online, visit the website of the school district you want to register your child in and follow the enrollment guidelines. Applications require you to provide your child's full name, age, current address, parent or guardian information, grade and any other information deemed necessary by the school district.
Submit the required registration information to the school you have determined best fits your child's educational needs. Proof of age, address, immunization and necessary physical examinations may be required to complete the enrollment process. Visit the school district's website to determine when and how this information must be submitted.
