What is the required documentation to enroll in Charlottesville City Schools?

Students enrolling in the Charlottesville City Schools for the first time must provide:

• Original birth certificate (or certified copy)
• Proof of residency
  • Mortgage, lease, real estate tax statement OR
  • Driver’s license or government-issued photo ID plus current utility bill (electric, gas, water/sewer)
• A completed “school health entrance form” showing that the child has received a physical examination performed by a physician within a year of enrollment. (Required for all K students, even if they have been enrolled in the preschool program.) Suggestion: Call your doctor’s office to ask if they’ll fax your child’s form to your school. Fax numbers are listed with school registrar contact list, above, or on this page.
• A completed immunization record (part of the “school health entrance form”)
• Custody or guardianship paperwork (if necessary)
• Don’t have everything? Bring what you have to the school, and they will help you.
   

School divisions are required to accept students who meet residency requirements under § 22.1-3 of the Code of Virginia and may not deny a free public education to undocumented school-age children who reside within their jurisdiction because they do not hold valid United States citizenship or a student visa. Questions should be addressed to the Director of Special Education and Student Services at 245-2405.

Better Review of Parent, Guardian, and Emergency Contacts

A major change this year is found in the Parent/Guardian and Additional Contacts screens.  We have transferred over the data currently in PowerSchool for your review, and below each person’s data set, we give an opportunity to update any fields that need to be changed. As a reminder, all parents/guardians are automatically considered emergency contacts. The Additional Contact screen requires at least one other person to be added in an emergency in the event a parent/guardian can not be reached.
