Subheadline: Online Tool Allows Families to Look Up Home School
(EMPIRE NEWS NETWORK (ENN)——SAN BERNARDINO, CA-The 2018–2019 school year begins Monday, August 6. For many families, that means thinking about how to enroll their child in school. The San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) is making that a little easier by offering elementary school students’ multiple options to enroll.
Students who attended an SBCUSD school during the 2017–2018 school year and are remaining in the District do not need to re-enroll. School records will be transferred to the appropriate grade and school.
For families who are new to the SBCUSD community and need to register their children, the District offers two options beginning Monday, July 23. Families of elementary school students may enroll directly at the child’s home school or they may visit the new Welcoming Resource Center, 781A W. Second Street in San Bernardino. The center is open weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. For more information or for directions, call the Center at (909) 889-7576.
Parents of middle and high school students should register at their child’s home school. Parents can determine their child’s home school by calling Facilities Planning & Development at (909) 388-6100 or by visiting http://apps.schoolsitelocator.com/?districtcode=43985 and entering their home address.
“The Welcoming Resource Center has come from the collaborative efforts of our parents, District staff, and the community. SBCUSD is excited to provide our families an additional option for elementary school enrollment,” said Enrollment & Placement Services Assistant Director Leonard Buckner. “Additional services offered at the Welcoming Resource Center include k through 12 transfers, language assessment, GATE assessment, resources for homeless or foster youth, and family engagement.”
