Enrolling a student new to Wake County

Welcome! We’re glad you’re joining the Wake County Public School System. We are committed to supporting every child’s learning journey.

If your child has received special education services before, please follow these steps to enroll.

Find your base school

Use the Address Lookup Tool to find your child’s assigned base school.

Gather enrollment documents

Bring these items to your base school:

• Your child’s birth certificate
• Proof of address (such as a current utility bill)
• A photo ID of the parent or guardian

Complete registration

At the school, you will fill out a registration packet. On the data sheet, check the box showing your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP).

If you have a copy of the IEP, please bring it.
