4-Step Registration Process

Determine Eligibility
Residency

School assignment is based on the bona fide residence of the student being enrolled. If you do not know what school your child should attend, please call the School Boundary Information line at 240-740-7725 or check their website at www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/planning and click on “Find Your School.”

Verify age, identity, residency, and immunization compliance

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).
