Private or Parochial School Enrollment

For families with students attending private or parochial schools, New York State requires each school district to account for all school-age children. Therefore, parents/guardians are required to register their children with the school district in which they reside (your home district). This meets state reporting requirements and informs the transportation department in the child's home district to be aware of potential busing needs. 

Please contact the registration office at 315-434-3011.

We look forward to meeting you and working with you and your child(ren)
