>New Students Must Register With BOE

>Jun. 2, 2011

In a recent press release, the Garrett County Board of Education stated that parents/guardians should register their children who will be entering school for the first time.

If a parent/guardian did not register the kindergartner or first-grade student during the recent pre-registration program, one may do so by contacting the principal of the local school to arrange an appointment. This should be done as soon as possible.

Parents must take their child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency with them for the registration process. Students can not be enrolled without first providing this documentation.

Acceptable proofs of residency documents are: deed or mortgage agreement, current property tax bill, current lease or rental agreement, current utility bill with the parent/guardian’s name and address, or a notarized Statement of Residency Verification form (available from county schools or the Pupil Services Office of the BOE). A child’s Social Security number is also requested for state reporting requirements.

Any child who will be 5 years of age on or before Sept. 1 must be enrolled in kindergarten or apply for a one-year maturity wavier. Any family who plans to use home instruction (home-schooling) instead of enrolling a student in school must submit forms at least 15 days prior to the first day of the school year.

Information may be obtained through the Pupil Services Office located at the BOE building or by calling 301-334-8939 or 301-359-9209.
