district records and forms management system at .
To facilitate the enrollment of new students to M-DCPS, the Federal and State Compliance
Office has created the New Student Registration Parent Guide and New Student
Registration Packet, including a checklist, and required forms. Both documents are in
English, Spanish, and Haitian-Creole and accessible for download via the Federal and
State Compliance Office, Student Registration webpage. Schools are encouraged to
download both documents and post on their school websites for parents to access.
The school shall abide by information provided by the parent who completes the Initial
Registration documents or ¡°registering parent.¡± Any subsequent change to the registering
parent listed in the District Student Information System (DSIS) must be verified by both
parents in accordance with District procedures. Only the registering parent will be permitted
to withdraw the student from the school and enroll the student in another M-DCPS school.
The school registrar should consult the principal about any extenuating circumstances
presented on a case-by-case basis. Any parent contesting the information on the Initial
Registration forms may seek assistance from the court to compel the registering parent to
revise the information on the forms. School staff shall provide such persons with the website
for the Family Court Self-Help Program at . Parents may agree to change the registering parent and submit an
Agreement to Change of Registering Parent Form (FM-7600) (Appendix 11) at any time.
