- Please ensure that your current contact information is within the BCPS student information database by contacting your child’s current school, former school or the school that provided your BCPS student identification number.
To Apply:
- Login into your School Choice Family Dashboard. If you do not have a Family Dashboard, you will be able to create one on your first visit.
- Follow the instructions to complete a separate application for each child during an application window.
- If needed, provide any required documentation before the application deadline.
