HOW TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD IN ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

 

 

 

Important Immunization Information
There is a state requirement that seventh graders must have a series of three Hepatitis B injections, a tetanus booster and a second measles shot. They must offer proof of these immunizations before they can enroll in the seventh grade.

Where can my child get immunization shots and a physical exam?
See your private physician or visit one of the Orange County Health Department five clinics. Call 407/836-2600 for clinic locations.

When should I register my child for school?
You may go to the school your child will attend at any time to register him or her for school. If you are new to the area, you are encouraged to register your child as soon as possible. Previous school records or report cards help schools place students.

Which school will my child attend?
Each school has a designated attendance area, and the family's address determines which school the student will attend. Contact the Pupil Assignment office at 407/317-3233 and give them address of the school your child will attend.

How old does my child have to be to start school?
A child must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1 to enter kindergarten. To enter first grade, a child must be 6 on or before Sept. 1 and must have attended kindergarten.

What do I need to bring to register my child?
To register a child for the first time in any Florida school, you will need:

  • Official State issued birth certificate
  • Immunization records on an HRS 680 form for MMR (mumps, measles, and rubella), DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus) and OPU (polio), hepatitis-B series, chickenpox
  • Proof of a physical examination within the last year 
  • Proof of residence, including a homestead exemption card, lease/rental agreement or deed
  • Each first grader who attended a private kindergarten also will need a letter from that school stating that he/she has successfully completed kindergarten
