How to register for the 2013-2014 school year

BPS Registration for the upcoming school year occurs in four Rounds. Assignment does not occur until the end of each round and therefore is NOT "first-come, first-served" for students who registered in the same round. However, students are assigned to schools after each round, leading to fewer open seats with every passing round. Therefore, families should try to register during their earliest possible round for their grade.

 

Round One
Kindergarten, Grade 6, Grade 9
January 3, 2013 - February 1, 2013

New to BPS families seeking an assignment to these grades should register at an FRC during this period. Students already in BPS moving up to Grade 6 and 9 will receive their Assignment Application from their current schools. Families that need to register siblings in addition to children that fall within Round One may register all their children at the same time; however, the children who are applying for grades other than those noted will not be assigned until the close of Round Two.

Please register according to the last name of the parent:

Jan. 3-4	Current ABCD Head Start program families
Jan. 7-11	A-G registrants
Jan. 14-18	H-Q registrants
Jan. 22-25	R-Z registrants
Jan. 28-Feb. 1	Open to all registrants

Peak Registration Saturdays:
On Jan. 12 and Jan. 26, the East Zone FRC is open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for families to register for school.

Assignment notices for this round will be sent home mid-March.

Round Two
All grades
February 6, 2013 - March 22, 2013

Only children who are not currently in BPS or those seeking a transfer need to go to an FRC. All BPS students in the last grade of their current school and AWC-eligible students will receive their Assignment Applications at school.

Assignment notices for this round will be sent home mid-May.
