My child is transferring from another school system within the United States and speaks English as well as my native language. Do I still need to contact the International Center?
Yes, our school system must identify all children who have a first or primary language other than English in their background. Unfortunately, transfer information from other school systems does not always identify these students. When you contact our office, we will ask you questions to confirm whether you will need to make an appointment with us to register your child for school.
