Back to School Update
We are rebranding the previously referred to Returning School Update to the Back to School Update (BTS) Form and it will open in July. QUICK LINKS Logging into the Parent Portal | I have multiple children | What if I need help? (FAQS) WELCOME RETURNING STUDENTS! Welcome back students and parents of Arlington! We hope you are all having a safe end to the summer. As the school year is right around the corner, it is now time to complete the Back to School Update Form. This form is very important to your schools as it allows you to provide any necessary updates to important pieces of information like student address, contact information, and confirm health and district permissions NOTE: Failure to complete the Back to School Update form will result in not receiving important updates and communications from both your student’s school and the district as a whole. You will be informed via email once the form is ready to complete. If your contact information has changed and has not been updated in our systems, please email your student’s school. We look forward to welcoming all families back for this upcoming school year! REQUIRED FOR ALL STUDENTS Why is this Required for All Families to complete? You will have the opportunity to verify important pieces of information associated with your child’s account like:
*In the event that you need to update your student’s address on file, you will be required to provide supporting residency verification documents (per APS District Policy). Your form is not complete until these documents are submitted. It is recommended to gather the required documents prior to filling out the form. If you do not have the required documents at the time of filling out the form, you will still be able to submit. A member of the registration team will be in contact with you to obtain any missing documents. Please click HERE for a list of acceptable address verification documents. REMINDER: Families who have registered their children to start school in September do not need to complete any BTS forms this summer as you have already provided this information within your enrollment application. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STUDENTS ENTERING GRADES 4, 7 AND 10 Families will be required to provide a most recent immunization health record, and a most recent physical examination record (completed within the last 12 months). Your form will not be complete until these documents are provided. If you do not have the required documents at the time of filling out the form, you will still be able to submit. A member of the registration team will be in contact with you. To login to your parent portal account where you will have access to the Back to School Update Form, please follow the instructions under the “BACK TO SCHOOL UPDATE FORM” section. BACK TO SCHOOL UPDATE FORM Please Note: In order to access the Back to School Update form, and verify/confirm your child’s information, you MUST have a parent portal account.
