How do I locate my child's school?

Click on our boundary link here. Enter your address, then click the black dot to verify your home campus. 

If my child cannot be tested immediately, will they lose their spot at their home campus (the campus you are zoned for based on your home address)?

No, we will temporarily hold a spot for your child until you receive your child's Language Proficiency test results. Then you can only keep that spot if all registration documents are turned in before someone else. 

Do I still have to provide the school with my proof of income if I know my child will qualify for prekindergarten another way?

Yes, proof of income is a state requirement for prekindergarten.
