Children between the ages of 5 and 18 who live within the legal
limits of Montgomery County are eligible to attend Montgomery County
Public Schools. Children must reach the age of 5 on or before September
30 of the start of a new school year to enroll in kindergarden. Students
with birthdays on October 1 or after must wait until the following
school year.
Enrollment forms are available on the Forms & Notifications section of the MCPS website.
Parents may determine their child's enrollment zone by using the
Montgomery County iGIS online service. Additional information about this
service is available on the Transportation webpage.
Currently MCPS does not accept transfer requests for students who
live outside of the legal limits of Montgomery County unless the child's
parent or guardian works for the school division. Division employees
may access the out-of-zone attendance application under Staff Resources.
