Online Pre-Registration 

 

 

Families who have children not currently enrolled in the Boston Public Schools can pre-register online and schedule an appointment. You will meet with a Welcome Service Registration Specialist and they will complete the process with you. 

 

Remember this is a pre-registration only. You must meet via phone with a  Registration Specialist and provide the required documents in order to complete the registration process.

All students who register within the same round are assigned to schools at the same time when the round closes.
