Welcome from the new director of Student Assignment

Ellen Truskowski is the Pinellas County Schools director of Student Assignment. Her office helps families register for school and apply for district educational opportunities, such as magnet programs.

Hello, I am Ellen Truskowski, Pinellas County Schools’ new director of Student Assignment. I have served in this role for several months, but I wanted to formally introduce myself. I previously oversaw our district’s magnet programs.

My office helps families register for school and apply for district educational opportunities, such as magnet programs. Remember: We are here to support you. We want you to find the right educational option for your child. If you have any questions, please reach out to our office at [email protected] or 727-588-6210 .

In the meantime, here are some tips to help you get ready for the new school year:

Visit the Pinellas County Schools website

One of the best places for back-to-school information is the Pinellas County Schools website, www.pcsb.org . You’ll find a link to our online Back-to-School Guide that includes the student calendar, report card schedules, lunch information and more.

Make sure the school district has your up-to-date contact information

Don’t miss out on important information. Pinellas County Schools needs accurate contact information to call and email families about crucial information, such as:

• Emergencies, health updates or severe weather
• School or district events
• Special application opportunities

To update your phone and email address:

• Visit https://reservation.pcsb.org , and log in with your parent username and password. If you do not have a username or forgot yours, please bring a valid photo ID to any of our schools.
• Select the option: “Change Phone and Email Address Only”
• Enter your child’s name and date of birth or student ID number, and update your phone number and email address.

Remember: Updating the emergency contact card or clinic card at your child’s school does not update your contact information in the system we use for automated phone calls and emails.

Get text message notifications

Another way to ensure you get emergency notifications is to opt in for text messages. Pinellas County Schools uses a system called School Messenger to send text messages with essential updates and emergency information. Employees, parents and guardians of students who attend Pinellas County Schools can opt in to receive text messages by texting “Yes” to the number 67587 . If you opted in before, you don’t need to do it again. Please note: The mobile number used to opt in must already be on file with the school district. Learn more at www.pcsb.org/textmessages .

Have you moved?

If you have recently moved and your child previously attended a district school, please make sure Pinellas County Schools has your current address. Log into the district’s Student Reservation System at https://reservation.pcsb.org using your PCS parent username and password.

Follow the prompts to change your address. Your child may be assigned to a different school based on your new address. However, parents can choose to have their children remain at the same school for the 2021-2022 school year if they provide transportation themselves. Contact the Student Assignment at 727-588-6210 with any questions.

Bus information

If your child is currently registered and eligible to ride a bus, you should receive a postcard with your child’s bus information by early August. If you do not receive a postcard or if you have questions about school transportation, please call the Transportation Call Center at 727-587-2020.

Bus notification system

The Bus Bulletin notification system notifies parents, students and schools when there are bus delays, substitute drivers or bus changes. If you would like to receive instant notifications about situations affecting your child’s bus, please register with Bus Bulletin. You can choose how you want to be notified: text messages, phones calls, and/or emails. Learn more at www.pcsb.org/busbulletin . If you need help with registration, call Pinellas County Schools Transportation Department at 727-587-2020. Please note: Bus Bulletin is not related to Pinellas County Schools emergency text message communications through School Messenger.

New students

If you are new to the school district or have a child entering school for the first time and you have questions about the registration process, please visit www.pcsb.org/new . There are three key steps to register your child for school:

Step 1: Find your Zoned School:

To find your child’s zoned school, visit www.pcsb.org/zone . Enter your house number and the first few characters of your street. The locator will find your complete address and show you your zoned school.

Step 2: Reserve a seat:

Visit the Student Reservation System at https://reservation.pcsb.org to reserve a seat in your child’s zoned school. You can reserve a seat using any computer, including ones in school offices. To use the system, you will need a parent username and password. You can get one by visiting any district school with valid ID. If you already have a parent account for another child, you do not have to get a new one.

Step 3: Register:

The final step is to visit your child’s assigned school with your valid ID and required documents. Required documents include a birth certificate, Florida Certificate of Immunization, physical examination certificate, and two documents that prove where you live. You can find more information, plus details about all required documents, at www.pcsb.org/new .

Connect with the Student Assignment Office

The Student Assignment Office is in the Pinellas County Schools Administration Building at 301 Fourth St. SW in Largo. Our offices are open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Contact us the Student Assignment office at [email protected] or 727-588-6210.

Getting Started

What is student assignment.

JCPS offers a managed choice system that meets the unique needs of our community. The system lets you apply to various schools based on your home address.

How to Explore JCPS School Choice Options

The district offers a variety of options to meet students' individual needs. We are proud that each school and program has unique strengths and that each is designed for particular interests and talents. Many parents consider several different factors in choosing a school. They make decisions based on the family’s needs and what they feel is a good fit for their child.

Be sure to explore your school choice options to determine which is the best fit for your family.

Ways to Explore JCPS Schools

• School webpages
• School tours and parent nights
• Enrollment guides: Check out the  Choices brochures for elementary, middle , and high schools.

Get Involved in School Choice

JCPS annually offers an application period in which students can apply to schools and magnet and optional programs for the next school year:

• The elementary, middle, and high school application period for the 2024-25  school year begins on  November 6, 2023 , and ends on  December 22, 2023 . Apply here .

Applications are not processed on a first-come, first-served basis. They all are processed at the same time at the end of the period. Applications submitted after the deadline will be processed based on building capacity and admission criteria (if required for optional and magnet programs). 

The Office of School Choice works with families to help students apply to schools. Call us at (502) 485-6250 if you have questions about any of the following:

Department Overview

Each student in the Cumberland County Schools System is assigned to the school of his/her grade level serving the attendance area in which the student’s parent or court-appointed custodian resides. The Student Assignment Office has the responsibility of ensuring all students are attending the appropriate schools. Our guidelines and procedures are developed based on the following:

• Maintain efficient use of facilities
• Provide options to parents to best meet the needs of their family
• Provide choices to explore a variety of educational opportunities toward meeting the diverse needs of our students.

In addition to school assignments, the Student Assignment Office also helps parents, students, and schools with issues involving custody, residency, family hardships involving school assignments and Choice Program application procedures. All students residing in Cumberland County are eligible to apply to the Choice Program during the application period. For more information on the Choice Program, please visit the  Cumberland County Schools Choice Program Website .

• You will be notified by telephone of the date and time of the hearing so that you can appear in person and present information to the panel of Board members.
• At the hearing before the Board panel, the Student Placement office staff will provide copies of your reassignment request form, all documents submitted with that form, and any additional information that you may have submitted before the hearing.
• You may make a brief oral presentation of 3 to 5 minutes to the panel and present information to the panel that you have not previously submitted. Please bring five copies of any supporting documents with you to the hearing.
• Most cases will first be heard by a panel of two or more members of the Board, which will recommend to the full Board whether or not your reassignment request should be approved.

The following factors will be considered by the Board panel in formulating its recommendation and by the full Board in makings its decision:

• The best interests of your child
• The orderly and efficient administration of public schools
• Capacity utilization at the requested school
• The effect on students in the wait pool at the requested school
• The instruction, health, and safety of the students at the requested school

After receiving the panel's recommendation, the full Board of Education will consider your reassignment request and decide in a closed session Board meeting. You will be notified of the Board's decision in writing.

Welcome to Gaston County Schools and the Student Assignment webpage.   Our office is a part of the Student Support Services Department.  The goal of the Student Assignment Office is to develop a relationship with students and parents from the beginning of the enrollment process. Our staff creates a welcoming environment for families who are new to our community as well as families whose students have extenuating circumstances or special needs. Student Assignment Our office staff is pleased to serve parents wishing to enroll their child in Gaston County Schools. To enroll a student, you must be the biological parent or court-ordered guardian. You must also bring:

• Proof of age/birthdate/proof of parentage (birth certificate)
• Immunization record and health assessement for first time enrollment in North Carolina public schools
• Parent/legal guardian's valid photo ID (driver license, state identification, passport, or military ID)
• Withdrawal from previous school (middle and high school)
• TWO (2) proofs of current address received within the last 30 days to verify residence (power, gas, water, cable, landline phone bills and / or lease or mortgage records).

* If the parents(s) or court-ordered guardian reside with another person who is the homeowner/lessee, you will need to meet together (the parent and the homeowner) with the Student Assignment Office staff to complete a Residency Affidavit document. The homeowner/lessee will need to provide two proofs of address. A student enrolling in the sixth grade or higher who does  not  currently attend a Gaston County school will need to come to the Student Assignment Office to complete a Discipline Status Document. Students in Group Homes and Foster Homes It is our pleasure to serve students living in foster homes and group homes. The legal guardian and the foster parent or group home representative must be present during the registration process. The following documentation is needed for initial enrollment and for changing school assignment:

• Guardianship/parental placement form
• Person Centered Plan
• Individualized Education Plan
• Previous school withdrawal and transcript
• Discipline information
• Special needs information

The deadline to apply for a school transfer was Friday, March 3 at 5:00 p.m.   An intra-district transfer is when parents/guardians wish to register or enroll their student(s) at a school other than the designated school in their attendance area within their district. Foreign Exchange Programs All foreign exchange programs in Gaston County Schools must have prior approval from the Student Assignment Office to enroll in our school system. Placement in schools with host families must occur by July 15 for the student to be cleared for enrollment. Schools will have no more than two foreign exchange students each year.
