Enrollment Information
For the convenience of parents, Putnam City Schools has a district enrollment office open year-round. It’s in this office (rather than individual schools) that all enrollment in the district takes place. Below is information you’ll need to enroll your child in Putnam City schools.
Who Should Enroll
All students who are new to the district as well as students who have moved within the district (and the move requires a change of schools) must begin the enrollment process at the district enrollment office. The student’s legal guardian or adult who has assumed care and custody of the student must reside in Putnam City.
Where to Enroll
All enrollment takes place at the district enrollment office located at the Putnam City Center, 5604 N.W. 41st. The entrance to the enrollment office is on the north side of the building and the parking lot is located across the street to the north. Signs near the street indicate the parking areas.

Items Required for Enrollment
To enroll a student in Putnam City Schools, you must be the student’s legal guardian or an adult who has assumed care and custody of the student. In either case, you must reside within district boundaries.
Please bring the following items to enroll a student:
Two Proofs of Residence
1) A copy of a current utility bill (gas, electric or water). Telephone bills, cut-off notices and cable bills will not be accepted. If all bills are paid by the landlord, then a current statement from the landlord could be used to verify that all bills are paid and that the residents live at the stated address.
2) A copy of one of the following: lease (with the signature of the person claiming residency), home warranty deed, ad valorem statement, mortgage statement, or homestead exemption form.
Custodial parents/guardians who cannot provide the necessary information to verify their address because they are residing with a friend or relative on a temporary or permanent basis are required to complete a Residency Verification form. The form requires both the Putnam City resident and the custodial parent of the student be present when signed. Both the Putnam City resident and the custodial parent must also provide valid identification.
Immunizations Records
An official immunization record must be presented at the time of enrollment. All series must be either complete or in process. Immunization requirements change annually, so it is important to check the most current requirements.
Birth Certificate
Birth certificates are required for preschool, kindergarten and first grade enrollment. Students must be 4, 5, or 6 years of age on or before Sept. 1.
The Name, Address, Phone and Fax Number of the Previous School Attended, unless the previous school was in Putnam City.
Special Education or Gifted/Talented Records, if applicable, are helpful in ensuring the proper placement of the student.
