Public Education System
Enrolling your student in an Atlanta public school involves a straightforward process designed to ensure a smooth transition for your child. Start by visiting the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) website to determine your zoned school based on your residential address. Gather essential documents such as proof of residence, your child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and previous school records if applicable. Complete the online registration form and submit the required documents either online or in person at the designated enrollment center or school. Once submitted, you may need to schedule an appointment for a placement test or orientation. By following these steps, you can ensure your child is ready to begin their educational journey in the vibrant and diverse Atlanta public school system.
