If you are new to Indian River county you will need to complete an enrollment form at your zoned elementary, middle or high school during regular school hours. You can look up your zoned school by going to FIND MY SCHOOL. You will need the following information to enroll your child for school:

If your child is an ESE student please bring a copy of the child’s IEP (Individual Education Plan). These documents are important to facilitate proper placement in a school or class.

If you are enrolling your child in a secondary school, please bring your child’s latest report card and FSA scores or achievement test results or any other testing and/or assessment you may have.

Immediate Enrollment

The District has an obligation to remove barriers to the enrollment and retention of homeless students. If a school other than the student’s school of origin is chosen on the basis of a best interest determination, the homeless student must be immediately enrolled, even if the student does not have the documentation typically necessary for enrollment, such as immunization and other required health records, proof of residency, proof of guardianship, birth certificate, or previous academic records. The homeless student must also be enrolled immediately regardless of whether the student missed application or enrollment deadlines during the period of homelessness, fails to meet uniform or dress code requirements, or has outstanding fines or fees.
