With a straightforward registration process, you can ensure your child’s smooth transition into their first year of formal education.
Step 1 - Register with Duval County Public Schools:
To begin the enrollment process, follow the directions on the website to register your new student. If your child previously attended a Duval County VPK program or received special services through the school district, they may already have an ID, which can be obtained by calling the Enrollment Hotline at 904-348-7777.
Step 2 - Find Your School:
Each student is automatically assigned to a neighborhood school based on their home address. To discover your child’s designated school, use the School Locator tool on the website. If you’re interested in exploring magnet or exceptional transfer option schools, be aware that the application deadline is February 28, and some schools may still have limited seats available. More information about open seats and the application process can be found on the website.
Step 3 - Contact and Visit Your School to Enroll:
Parents or legal guardians need to bring specific documents when visiting the school to complete the enrollment process:
Child’s birth certificate
Proof of a physical exam
Immunization record (Florida immunization requirements can be found on their website HERE)
Proof of home address, which can be fulfilled with two documents from List A or one document from List A, and two documents from List B. All documents must display matching addresses.
