Registration of New Students
* Online pre-registration (step-by-step directions) is available for students new to DoDDS. Once information is entered, key forms can be generated. The school registrar can then access the data.
* Parents may register their children during regular office hours (0745-1600) during the school year..
* Students who are registered before 1100 will be able to attend school the following day.
* In order to give teachers time to prepare for a new student, students who are registered after 1100 must wait one additional day before attending school.

Registration of Returning Students
* Parents are required to register their child annually since certain documents must be updated.
* Registration for returning students is scheduled each spring and the dates are announced.

PCSing Students
* All parents must give the office two weeks notice prior to a PCS move. This gives the teachers time to prepare the student's report card and the office will prepare a copy of the PCS orders.
* Educational files (records from Aukamm and previous schools) may be released directly to a parent who has given the school notice and proper orders indicating a PCS.
* All library books must be returned to the school. If the library books are not returned, a bill will be presented to the parent when he/she comes in to pick up the student's educational records.
*
The Military Child Education Coalition (external site) has additional PCS information, including a Checklist for Student Transfers.

* The Heidelberg District Office must approve the "Exception to the Feeder Policy" after the Principals' approval.
