General Enrollment
Children need to be five years old by August 31 in order to begin kindergarten in that school year. The state mandates that children between the ages of seven and 16 attend public or private school.
Your child is considered a “new student” if they never attended Union County Public Schools (UCPS) or previously attended a school within the district and want to re-enroll. Students are eligible to attend school within the district and are assigned to home schools based on the domicile of the student’s parent.
Once you have completed the online enrollment application through Infinite Campus, the zoned home school will follow up regarding any additional requirements.
For questions or inquiries regarding the enrollment process, please contact the school's data manager.
