Homeless Education

You Can ENROLL in school!

Even if you have:

Uncertain housing
A temporary address
No permanent physical address

You are guaranteed enrollment in school by the federal McKinneyVento Act and California state law if you live:

In a house or apartment with more than one family due to loss of housing or economic hardship
With friends or family because you are a runaway or an unaccompanied youth
In substandard housing (without electricity, water, or heat)
In a shelter (family, domestic violence, or youth shelter or transitional living program)
In a motel, hotel, or weekly rate housing
In an abandoned building, in a car, at a campground, or on the streets

You can enroll in school immediately even without the documents normally required for enrollment, such as:

Proof of residency
Immunization records or other required health records
School records
Legal guardianship papers

Your child may:

Participate fully in all school activities and programs for which he/she is eligible.
Receive transportation to and from the school of origin if you request it.
Continue to attend the school in which he/she was last enrolled even if you have moved away from that school’s attendance area.
Qualify automatically for school nutrition programs.

Your responsibilities are to:

Make sure your child gets to school on time and ready to learn.
Stay informed of school rules, regulations, and activities.
Contact the homeless liaison for assistance in removing barriers to your child’s education.
Attend parent/teacher conferences, Back-to-School Nights, and other school-related activities.

For questions about enrolling in school or for assistance with school enrollment, please contact your liaison.
