The school division will host community Mobile Enrollment Festivals, in-person registration events, through July 14, 2023 to assist families with the registration process. Families with younger children may also apply for the Head Start, Early Head Start, and Virginia Preschool Initiative programs. These early childhood programs are open for 3- and 4-year olds, infants, toddlers, and pregnant women of low-income families that live in Stafford County and meet the federal or state income-eligibility guidelines.
Translators are available in Spanish, Arabic, Dari, Farsi, Pashto, and Urdu during these community Mobile Enrollment Festivals. During the festivals, students will have the opportunity to earn their “Training Wheels” by visiting the big yellow school bus. Drivers and attendants will teach students proper boarding and riding procedures, and students will be able to explore the school bus before the first day of school. During the events, donation bins will be available for community members to drop off school supplies in support of the school division’s Collect for Kids program.
SCPS welcomes all students regardless of race, color, creed, sex, religion, national origin, or disabling condition who live within the boundaries of the Stafford County Public School district and meet state age and health requirements.
