Enrollment Forms

You may be required to provide certain forms to enroll your child into a DOE public school program. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to download the ones you need to submit to the program or to a Family Welcome Center.

You can also find the Registration Checklist in the section, Forms for Families and Staff, to learn about the documents you need to provide to register your child at a DOE program.

  • New to NYC? Fill out the Housing Questionnaire and provide to your new school or a Family Welcome Center.
  • If you're not the primary leaseholder or homeowner where you live, fill out the Parent Affidavit of Residency.
  • If you're temporarily taking care of a student but are not their parent or guardian, fill out the Non-Parent Affidavit.

Please note: Forms do NOT need to be notarized. If any form includes a section on notarization, just leave it blank.

A Few Notes

  • Most forms are digitally accessible (optimized for screen readers) but some are not yet; we are working to provide updated accessible versions of all forms.

Forms for Families and Staff 

These forms are posted here for schools and Family Welcome Center staff to share with families. Each form is available in ten languages, and most forms are PDFs that can be filled out online. For children entering grades 3-K through kindergarten in September 2020, please reach out to the program where you’ve accepted an offer regarding specific registration instructions.
