Students who want to enroll in Saint Paul Public Schools must first schedule an intake appointment at the Student Placement Center. Appointments are strongly recommended but walk-ins are accepted as time permits. Our building hours are 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and our intake hours are 8:15 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. To schedule an intake appointment, please call 651-632-3700.

During intake, students and their families will:

• Meet with Student Placement Center staff to share information about their students
• Receive language assessment if a language other than English is spoken at home
• Learn about available schools and programs and select a school
• Meet with a school nurse to provide medical history, receive immunization updates, and connect to community resources

For your intake appointment, please bring: 

• Student(s) who will enroll in school
• Birth certificate, passport, I-94 or other government-issued proof of name and age
• Social Security number (optional)
• Records from the previous school including:
• Transcripts for secondary students (grades 7-12)
• Name, address and phone number of the previous school (K-12)
• Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or other records for special education students, if applicable
• Immunization records

If you do not have this information available, please schedule your appointment anyway so that your child can be enrolled in school immediately.
