Frequently asked questions

What happens if I don't turn up on these two days?

Parents who are unable to attend the school enrolment appointment should contact the primary school of their choice in the relevant school district and arrange another appointment there.

Do independent schools have different enrolment dates?

Enrolment must take place exclusively at a municipal primary school. Parents who would like to enrol their child at an independent primary school must also register their child at the desired independent primary school.

As a resident of Kaßberg, for example, can I also enrol my child in Schönau?

If you wish to enrol your child outside the school district, you must submit an informal, but justified, exception request to the desired primary school by 15 February 2019 at the latest after registering your child at a primary school in the relevant school district.

Do I need a declaration of consent from the other parent who is not present?

The enrolment form must be signed by both parents if there is joint custody. In the case of sole custody, proof of this is required.
