The registration of students enrolling in or transferring to Government schools for the 2014/2015 school year is currently open and will close on Monday 23 June, 2014.

Registration will take place at the Department of Education Services (GCM) and the Cayman Brac Teacher’s Centre (CB/LC). Parents may pick up registration forms at government schools, Department of Education Services, 130 Thomas Russell Way, George Town, the Cayman Brac Teacher’s Centre, Cayman Brac or download them from the DES website: : www.des.edu.ky.

Parents are reminded that completed registration forms must be returned to the Department of Education Services or to the Cayman Brac Teacher’s Centre, with a copy of the following documents attached:

•          The child’s birth certificate

•          The child’s immunization card

•          Documentation of child’s residency category (i.e. birth certificate, passport, status letter/certificate, RS 101 form)

•          Proof of address (this is mandatory and should be in the form of a utility bill – CUC or Water, lease agreement or notarized letter from landlord if renting), street name, house/apartment number, block number.

•          The last school year’s report (if the child is transferring from another school including private schools). In the case of transfer to John Gray High School or Clifton Hunter High School a transcript from the last school should be included.

The Department of Education Services Customer Service staff will check the documentation and determine the designated catchment area for the school assignment. Following approval by the Senior School Improvement Officer, the school secretary will make an appointment for a medical examination with the Public Health nurse. Parents can arrange for an examination from a private doctor. The medical examination must be completed before a child is enrolled.

Parents are encouraged to register their children as soon as possible to ensure that your qualifying child has a place at your local school in September. Children registering after 23 June cannot be guaranteed space at their nearest school. Parents will receive notification from the school of their child’s placement for September.
