Student Registration

Students who have been determined to be legal residents, or those who temporarily reside within the district as homeless children in accordance with the Commissioner's Regulations, and who meet district registration requirements, are entitled to attend the Public Schools within the East Meadow School District. In accordance with its obligation, the East Meadow Board of Education has adopted this policy in order to regulate student enrollment, to maintain the quality of its educational programs for district resident children, and in order to ensure that its educational programs and resources remain available for only those students who are legally entitled to benefit from them. When there is cause to suspect that a student attending or sought to be enrolled in the East Meadow School District is not eligible to attend the District's schools, the District will investigate the student's eligibility. Community members with information regarding students who may be ineligible to attend District schools are encouraged to contact the Registration Office at (516) 478-5526. Calls will be confidential and can be made anonymously. Students found to be ineligible will be excluded from continued attendance or enrollment pursuant to the Policy and Regulations of the Board of Education and the laws of New York State
