- For 1st grade, children must reach the compulsory school age of six on or before September 1.
- Visit your neighborhood school or use School Finder (https://webapps1.philasd.org/school_finder/) to locate the nearest school. Be sure to bring the documents listed on the district website.
- When a pupil applies for admission to any school, it becomes the responsibility of the school to complete enrollment if he/she resides within the boundary lines, or immediately secure accurate information as to where the pupil should apply.
