How to register your child for school

Other Resources

If your child has never attended an APS school before, you need to enroll him or her using the process outlined below.

Note: You do not have to re-enroll your students when they transition from elementary to middle school, or from middle school to high school — their current school will register them at their new school.

Contact your current school for more information.

When to register?
Registration is held weekdays, when school is in session, at all elementary, middle, and high schools. Please call your school for more information.

  • First grade: the student must be 6 years old by 12:01 a.m. on September 1
  • Preschool: Some students under 5 years old may be eligible to enroll in pre-kindergarten programs provided by APS or the City of Albuquerque.

Documentation Requirements:

If your child has not attended an APS school before, you will need the following documents to register:

  1. Child’s birth certificate
  2. Child’s vaccination records

If you want your child to attend a school other than the one you're assigned to, you can fill out a Transfer Request.

STEP 3: Contact Your School

Once you've confirmed that your child meets enrollment requirements, and identified your designated school, contact the school to complete the enrollment process.
