Registration Instructions

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District New Online Enrollment.

Please complete the online registration packet by clicking on the link “New Student Registration”. If this is your first time completing a registration packet online, you will be asked to create an account. To do so you must have a valid email address. Once the account is created, you will be able to save and return to your forms in progress. You will need to complete one form for each student you are registering.

To verify your child’s eligibility to attend our schools, you must upload at least one of the following documents:

  • Residential lease, mortgage, or deed
  • A statement from a landlord concerning your tenancy
  • A statement from a third party that establishes your presence in the Port Chester -Rye Union Free School District
