EARLY REGISTRATION HELPS PARENTS & CHILDREN
AVOID HEADACHES NEXT FALL
(June 20, 2008) -- To help parents and students start school
on the right foot, Newport News Public Schools has established special registration centers to
encourage parents to register early. Parents who register early
are able to ensure their child has a teacher assignment, books and
desk; learn their child’s school, homeroom and schedule; ensure
their child has a bus stop; and obtain information about open house
schedules.
Parents must register their children if they:
- are starting school for the first time,
- are new to Newport News schools,
- or have moved over the summer.

Parents can register at their new school weekdays during the summer
or visit a registration center at designated times. Also, parents
who require alternate in-zone stops for childcare must submit a
request at the child’s school in advance or registration center
in advance.
To register children who have moved within the city, parents must
provide legal residence verification such as a lease, contract or
mortgage; current utility bill; or a military housing acceptance
letter.
To register a child in Newport News Public Schools for the first
time, a parent must also provide immunization records, a certified
birth certificate, a physical exam for children in pre-K through
fifth grade, previous report cards and/or the address of the previous
school and the child’s Social Security Number (preferred but
not required).
