Pasco County schools registration requirements

Registration requirements

Haven't registered your child for school? Here's what you'll need.

Students entering a Florida school for the FIRST TIME, at any grade level, will be asked to present the following items upon registration at the school (please note special conditions in parentheses):

• Current immunization records

• Proof of a physical examination dated and signed by a licensed health professional within the last 12 months

• Birth certificate

• Social Security number (if available)

• Proof of Florida residency (such as utility bill, lease agreement, etc.)

• Copy of student's last report card (if applicable)

• Legal guardianship records (if applicable)

Please note: Students entering kindergarten for the first time must be 5 years old by Sept. 1. Prekindergarten and Head Start/Early Start programs are available to students who will not make the deadline.

Students transferring from another Florida county will be asked to present the following items upon registration at a Pasco school:

• Current immunization records

• Social Security number (if available)

• Proof of Florida residency (such as utility bill, lease agreement, etc.)

• Copy of student's last report card (if applicable)

• Legal guardianship records (if applicable)

• • •

Students currently enrolled in Pasco County schools will already be in the district computer system, and should not have to present any additional material. If your child is moving from elementary to middle, however, or from middle to high, you may want to bring proof of address (such as an electric or other utility bill) in case it is needed. Students moving from one school to another under the school choice program should be prepared to present their approved school choice application at the time of registration.

For those born in Puerto Rico: The government of Puerto Rico has enacted a new law aimed at strengthening the issuance and usage of birth certificates in order to combat fraud. All Puerto Rico birth certificates issued before July 1, 2010, have been invalidated, and all citizens born in Puerto Rico should obtain a new, official birth certificate. Citizens living in the United States will be able to request and receive their new birth certificates through the mail. For information, to review the law or to download a Birth Certificate Application, visit prfaa.pr.gov.
