Registering your child for school is as easy as ABC
The City School District of Albany wants to make the school registration process as easy as possible for busy parents. We understand that it can be confusing trying to figure out which of the district's schools your child will attend.

 

To alleviate some of the confusion and help parents get all the information they need, and to assist in completing all the proper forms, the district operates a Central Registration Office where everything parents need is under one roof.

 

Parents of elementary, middle and high school children should go to Central Registration to enroll their children in school. The office is located at 75 Watervliet Ave., off of Central Avenue near Westgate Plaza in the former Harriet Gibbons High School building.

 

Registration for kindergarten, prekindergarten and the district's three theme-based magnet schools is available. You can call Central Registration for additional information at (518) 475-6125, and check out the Required Documents section to find out what you will need to register your child for school
