New Student Registration
The following steps are outlined to assist parents and/or guardians who wish to enroll students in the school district. Newark Central School District uses a Central Registration process so all students, regardless of grade level, register at our District Office, 100 East Miller Street, 4th Floor in the Municipal Building. Our office hours during the regular school year are 7:45 AM – 4:00 PM and 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM during the summer. If you have any questions, please contact our District Office at (315) 332-3213 or contact Cathy Jadus via email.
In addition to completing the registration packet, you must also provide the following before the registration can be processed:
-
Parent/Guardian Identification: A photo I.D. of the parent and/or guardian is required. This I.D. cannot be expired.
-
Proof of Age: A certified transcript of a birth certificate, a passport (including a foreign passport) or record of baptism (including a certified transcript of a foreign birth certificate or record of baptism) giving the date of birth. No other form of evidence may be used to determine a child’s age.
-
Proof of Residence:
-
A copy of a residential lease or proof of ownership of a house, such as a deed or mortgage statement;
-
A statement by a third-party landlord, owner or tenant from whom the parent(s) or person(s) in parental relation leases or with whom they share property within the District. This must be notarized.
-
Such other statement by a third party establishing the parent(s)’ or person(s) in parental relation’s physical presence in the district. This must be notarized.
-
If the documentation listed above is not available, the District will consider other forms of documentation, which may include, but will not be limited to:
- pay stub;
- income tax form;
- utility or other bills;
- membership documents (e.g., library cards) based upon residency; voter registration document(s);
- official driver’s license, learner’s permit or non-driver identification; State or other government issued identification;
- documents issued by federal, state or local agencies (e.g., local social service agency, federal Office of Refugee Resettlement); or
- evidence of custody of the child, including but not limited to judicial custody orders or guardianship papers
- Evidence of Immunizations & Physical: In accordance with New York State’s Public Health Law, the District must also receive evidence that your child has been immunized in accordance with the New York State Department of Health Immunization Bureau’s Immunization Requirements for School Entrance/Attendance. These records will be necessary to ensure your child’s continued attendance. Additionally, please provide us with records of any recent physical examination your student has received. New York State mandates that each new student entering a public school is required to have a physical examination upon entering the District. A physical completed no more than twelve months before the first day of the school year in question will meet this requirement. The doctor’s office can fax health documents to Attn: Cathy Jadus at 315-332-3517.
- Custody Documentation/Orders of Protection: Please provide the District with a legal document, signed and dated by a Judge, if applicable. Please provide the District with any Orders of Protection that are in place regarding the student(s)
