TEMPORARY LODGING While you are staying in temporary housing, there are designated schools for your child until your family receives permanent housing. Choose your home wisely; your child will be assigned to a school based on the street you live on. If you move to a house that is located in a different district than your temporary lodging, your child will be assigned to a different school. The temporary schools do not have space to accommodate temporary students all year long. Geographic Exceptions (G.E’s) to attend a different school are rarely granted.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION You can go directly to the school office to register your child. They are open Monday - Fridays, 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and are closed on State holidays. The ideal registration hours for most schools are 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. After all paperwork is submitted, your child will be able to start in about two days. You do not need to wait for permanent housing for your child to start school, they can attend a temporary school in the meantime.
