The School District of Philadelphia offers two ways to register their children in school:
Option 1:
Register using the Online Registration (OLR). The OLR allows families to complete the enrollment process online, from wherever they have access to the internet. Before starting this process, we encourage families to follow all instructions (see below!) carefully and have all of the proper documents in electronic format.
Option 2:
Register using the paper application at the school connecting to the home address (their “catchment” school). Families are encouraged to first, contact their catchment school to see if an appointment is necessary. You must bring the required enrollment documents when registering your child in-person (see Step 2 below: proof of child’s age, immunization record, and two proofs of address).
