Important Dates and Deadlines from Boston Public Schools

February 4, 2010

First Round Registration ends February 5, 2010. If you haven’t registered your kindergartener, 6th or 9th grader for the 2010-2011 school year, be sure to get to a Family Resource Center and register now! Remember, it does not matter when in the first round that you register – just that you do so by February 5. All families who have registered by February 5 will enter the lottery system to determine their school assignment.

Assignment notices for families who have registered in Round One will be mailed in mid- March.Families can expect to receive a school assignment from their list, and/or be placed on a waiting list for desired schools. For more information on wait lists, please read the "Parents Want to Know" section below!

Round Two Registration runs from February 10, 2010 through March 26, 2010. This round is open for all grades. But remember: the later you register, the less chance your child will have of being assigned to one of your top school choices.
