Who is Eligible?
Head Start generally serves children ages 3 to 5 who meet local eligibility requirements.
Pregnant women and
children from birth to 3 years of age are eligible for Early Head Start services. Children and
families who are homeless, in foster care, or receive TANF or SSI are also eligible for
services. Eligibility is determined by Head Start program staff and some families may be
eligible for services if they are determined to be at or below the federal poverty level. Some
grantees enroll a percentage of children from families with incomes above the Poverty Guidelines
as well.
Families are encouraged to apply.
How to Apply
Enrollment
The Student Enrollment Department is responsible for registering new students, changes of address, attendance zones, school assignment for new and continuing students, and transfer students.
We take great pride in being the first point of contact for most families, so don't hesitate to contact us!
When families move into the district during the school year and over the summer, we recommend that they enroll as soon as they have established residency.
Registrations are completed at the district's central office, Lincoln Center, which is served by the CM bus route. Note: Only parents or legal guardians may register students. Legal guardians must present court-ordered legal documentation. Students do not need to accompany their parents in order to be enrolled.
Parents may print and complete the registration documents for each child they wish to enroll. Parents may also request registration forms be mailed to them or they can complete them while in the office. Click here fo
