Welcome to Boston Public Schools Registration

Discover BPS is a school search engine that helps parents understand where their children are eligible to go to school.


Please enter your home address and the grade which you are applying for below to generate the list of schools your student is eligible to attend.  

You can also check out our Discover BPS Magazine and our  School Choice Reference Guide for more information about our schools and how to choose the school that is the best fit for you and your family.

Pre-registration for the 2022-2023 school year is now available at sis.mybps.org. For the school year starting in September of 2022, the priority registration period for students entering grades K0, K1, 6, and 9 ran from January 5 until February 4.  Students assigned in that round will receive assignment notifications by the end of March.  The priority registration period for students entering K2 and all other grades runs from February 7 - April 1.  Families will be notified of their assignment by the end of May.  

To register your student for Boston Public Schools for the current or the upcoming school year, you can pre-register online and schedule an appointment to complete the process with one of our registration specialists either through an in-person  or a virtual appointment.  Pre-registration is available at sis.mybps.org.  Schedule an appointment at booknow.appointment-plus.com/8517n4dg/ or call the BPS Welcome Center at 617-635-8015.  

You can also register in-person at our Welcome Centers.  All 4 Welcome Centers (Roxbury, Dorchester, Roslindale, and East Boston) are now open for in-person visits.  In an effort to keep all of our families safe and to limit exposure to COVID-19, school registration will be completed by appointment only.  Schedule an appointment to meet with a registration specialist at booknow.appointment-plus.com/8517n4dg/.

The Roxbury, Dorchester, and Roslindale Welcome Centers are open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm.  The East Boston Welcome Center has the same hours, but is only open on Monday and Tuesday.  (They are also open on Wednesdays in the months of January and August). 

For more information on how to register for Boston Public Schools, please visit our website at bostonpublicschools.org/register.  You can also watch a short video about the registration process here:  BPS Registration Video

Please note that due to the Covid-19 pandemic and associated data discontinuities, there is no 2021 Accountability data, which is one of the key inputs in the School Quality Framework (SQF) tiers.  Therefore we will continue to utilize the most recent pre-pandemic School Quality tiers from Fall 2019 for school choice purposes.

Please enter your student's name, address and sibling school information to see a list of eligible schools.
