If a parent and/or guardian is unable to prove residency within the school boundary area, or if their child has not been reassigned to a school through the Innovative Programs (Magnet) or Reassignment Process, please visit the boundary school to register the student.  To locate the appropriate school boundary, parents and/or guardians can locate the school online utilizing the District’s School Locator web application available at http://www.browardschools.com/schools/locator.htm.

Parents and/or guardians can also contact their current school administration if they have questions about this process and the steps and information needed to re-register.
