Enrolling Your Child in School
Enrolling your child in an American public school is a fairly simple process. There are no citizenship requirements. The basic requirement is that you and your child live in the district. You'll need some proof of residence with your name and address on it, like an apartment lease, though telephone and electric (utility bills) are widely preferred proofs. There will also be a health requirement, proof of recent medical examination and of vaccination.
