Enroll for the 2014-15 school year

Families whose primary language in not English should visit The Center for International Enrollment, Crossroads 1, 5625 Dillard Drive, Cary, NC 27518 to get assistance with paperwork.
Required documents:
Completed registration forms
Parent/legal guardian photo ID
Proof of residence in the form of a current electric, city gas or city water bill, signed lease agreement or closing statement in the name of the parent(s) or court-appointed guardian with a closing date within 45 days. Telephone, cable television bills and driver's licenses do not qualify.
A certified copy of the child's birth certificate, which can be obtained from the county or state health department where the child was born.
Immunization records. For a list of all required immunizations, visit the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. If you do not have a certified immunization record, contact your physician or the Wake County Human Services. A new series of shots can be administered. If a record of completed immunizations is not received after 30 days, the principal is required by law to suspend the child from school on the 31st day until evidence of immunizations is presented.
Additional items needed later:
A completed Kindergarten Health Assessment. North Carolina law requires that a kindergarten health assessment be completed on or before the first day of school before a child can enter kindergarten. The health assessment must be completed no more than 12 months prior to the date of entry. Physical examination forms are available at Wake County schools, area doctors' offices or at the Wake County Health Department. Parents whose children do not have a regular physician can get health assessments and immunizations through the Wake County Health Department. First-time appointments should call (919) 250-3947.
If coming from another school system, a completed Discipline Status Enrollment form is required.
