If your child has an IEP, is an English Language Learner (ELL), or has another special need, and is enrolling in Boston Public Schools (BPS), you will need to register your child for BPS to start the process of placing your student. We recommend starting the BPS registration process as quickly as possible, so that you can be assigned a team to find the best school match for your student.
