Online interactive map to help you find the assigned schools based on an address
- Proof of Residency (lease; deed; property tax record; mortgage statement or 3 current consecutive months of receipts for rent) If the residence is in someone else’s name, you need one of the items above in their name AND a notarized statement from them stating that you and your child(ren) are residing at their address.
- Withdrawal form from previous school
- Report card/transcripts
- Immunizations (30 day rule applies)
- Custody Papers (if the person registering the student is not the parent, he/she must present a copy of the appropriate court order to establish legal guardianship.)
- Birth Certificate (Required for Kindergarten registration).
- SS card (not required, but important for tracking student records).
- Parents/Guardians will take the documents and the packet to the assigned school to complete the process.
Students moving within the Durham Public Schools to a new attendance zone:
