REGISTERING STUDENTS FOR SCHOOL
A Checklist of Things to Bring with You
Welcome to Binghamton Area and our City School District! We look forward to working with you and
your children during the school year.
Before you come to 98 Oak Street to register your child(ren) for school, please consider this:
1.
Before leaving your former district, please contact them and get copies of the documents listed
below. Bringing that information with you when you register your child(ren) can help us get them
placed into school in a more timely fashion.
2.
You should register your child(ren) as soon as possible. If you move in the summer, please do not
wait for September to register them. We get overcrowded at that time, and waiting may cause your
child(ren) to start later than everyone else.
Note: We cannot finalize registration for a child without these important documents. We suggest
that you obtain copies of these documents from the former school to bring with you.

Immunization Records
Copy of the most recent IEP or 504 Plan (if applicable)
Parent/Guardian Picture Identification
Custody Papers indicating residential custody (if applicable)
School Records/Transcript or Final/Most Recent Report Card or Withdrawal Grades
You will be asked to sign a release form so we can fax a request for records to the former school if you are
not able to obtain copies to bring with you at the time of registration. We will make every effort to
communicate with the former school but the Binghamton City School District cannot be held responsible for
the former’s school failure to respond in a timely manner.
Your child may not be allowed to attend school until the above records are received.

BINGHAMTON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT NETWORK AND INTERNET ACCESS CONSENT AND WAIVER
The following form must be read and signed by you and your parent or legal guardian.
By signing this Consent and Waiver form,
and my parent(s) or guardian(s) agree to abide by the following restrictions. I have discussed these rights and responsibilities with my parent(s) or
guardian(s).
Further, my parent(s) or guardian(s) and I have been advised that the District does not have control of the information on the Internet, although it
attempts to provide prudent and available barriers. Other sites accessible via the Internet may contain material that is illegal, defamatory, inaccurate
or potentially offensive to some people. While the Binghamton City School District’s intent is to make Internet access available to further its
educational goals and objectives, account holders will have the ability to access other materials as well.
The District believes that the benefits to educators and students from access to the Internet, in the form of information resources and opportunities
for collaboration far exceed any disadvantages of access. Ultimately, the parent(s) and guardian(s) of minors are responsible for setting and
conveying the standards that their student should follow. To that end, the District supports and respects each family’s right to decide whether or not
to apply for Binghamton City School District network access.
The student and his/her parent(s) or guardian(s) must understand that student access to the Binghamton City School District network exists to
support the District’s educational responsibilities and mission statement. The specific conditions and services that are offered will change from time
to time. In addition, the Binghamton City School District makes no warranties with respect to the Binghamton City School District network service,
and it specifically assumes no responsibilities for:
A.
B.
C.
D.
The content of any advice or information received by a student from a source outside of the District, or any costs or charges
incurred as a result of seeing or accepting such advice;
Any cost, liability or damages caused by the way the student chooses to use his/her District network access;
Any consequences of service interruptions or changes, even if these disruptions arise from circumstances under the control of
the District;
While the Binghamton City School District supports the privacy of electronic mail, students must assume that this cannot be
guaranteed.
By signing this form I agree to the following terms:
1.
My use of the Binghamton City School District network must be consistent with the Binghamton City School District’s primary
goals.
2.
I will not use the Binghamton City School District network for illegal purposes of any kind.
3.
I will not use the Binghamton City School District network to transmit threatening, obscene or harassing materials. The District
will not be held responsible if I participate in such activities.
4.
I will not use the Binghamton City School District network to interfere with or disrupt network users, services or equipment.
Disruptions include, but are not limited to, distribution of unsolicited advertising, propagation of computer worms or viruses, and
using the network to make unauthorized entry to any other machine accessible via the network. I will print only to my local
printer or to the printer designated by my instructor.
5.
It is assumed that information and resources accessible via the Binghamton City School District network are private to the
individuals and organizations, which own or hold rights to those resources and information unless specifically stated otherwise by
the owners or holders of rights. Therefore, I will not use the Binghamton City School District network to access information or
resources unless the owners or holders of rights to those resources or information have granted permission.
