The city’s school district has opened up summer registration for new residents.
Parents with school age children, who have recently moved to the city, are being asked to register their kids for school year 2015-16.
The district’s central registration office, located at 90 Delaware Avenue, will be fully staffed and open during July and August to assist new residents in registering students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
New city residents must register at the district’s central office and not at neighborhood schools. The district is urging parents to register during the summer and not delay until September to avoid missed school days when schools re-open in September.
