Outdoor In-Person School Registration Available To BCPS Families

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Parents and caregivers needing to enroll their children in Baltimore County Public Schools can do so in person outdoors starting Sept. 18. Renewed shared domicile status and residency verification also can be done in person outdoors.

Parents and caregivers will need to visit their children’s schools' websites for dates, times and additional information about in-person registration.

“We know that this is a challenging time for families,” said Superintendent Dr. Darryl L. Williams. “We want to do whatever we can to make things easier. While online enrollment has been – and continues to be – available, we know that many parents prefer in-person registration, so we wanted to make that available, too.”

The following documents are needed to enroll a child in BCPS for the first time, to renew shared domicile status, or to re-verify residency, which families must do when students enter sixth and ninth grades:
