Students in temporary housing

Students in temporary housing, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Act, are not required to submit documentation — including address, proof of date of birth, and immunization — in order to enroll. Schools must provisionally pre-register the student and then work with the Students in Temporary Housing NYC Public Schools contact to obtain documentation.
